Conversely, simply
delaying service of the claim form while awaiting a fuller particularisation of the Particulars of Claim generally will not be a sufficiently good reason for
delaying service of the claim form; nor will a claimant's desire to
delay service in order to await some other
development in the case; whether the nature of the claim was brought to the attention of the defendant before expiry of the time for service; where the claimant has taken all reasonable steps to serve the claim form, but been unable to do so, will generally suffice
as a very good reason for failure to serve, whereas a mere oversight in failing to serve in time will not; and provided that the prospective defendant has not acted obstructively, he is under no obligation to give any
positive assistance to the claimant to serve the claim form.
While animal data would suggest that institutional rearing would lead to reduced hippocampal volume, some investigators have suggested that such effects may not become evident in humans until later in life.18 Consistent with this, decreased hippocampal volumes have been found in numerous studies of adults who experienced high levels of childhood stress / trauma.19, 20 In spite of this hypothesized
delayed hippocampal effect, a
positive impact of early supportive parenting on hippocampal
development has been detected
as early
as school age.21
