Practice question
A municipality is the named defendant. Summons is properly served on its incumbent executive head in that capacity, with the required papers. Is service on the Solicitor General invariably also required by section 15 solely because the municipality is public?
- Yes, every local public corporation is served only through the Solicitor General
- No, section 15 separately authorizes the executive-head route for the municipality
- Yes, unless the municipality is a city
- No, because public defendants never require summons
- Yes, if the plaintiff resides outside the municipality
