The court ruled that the hearing date set under Article 129(4) of the Code of Civil Procedure remains valid if the plaintiff files a lawsuit during its pendency. The defendant argued that the date should be reset upon receipt of the summons, but the court rejected this. The decision establishes that the procedural timeline is triggered by the filing of the suit, not the service of documents.
