269. Peremption is covered by any useful proceeding taken by either party within the six months immediately preceding the service of the motion provided for in article 268.
As long as judgment has not been rendered on such motion, the plaintiff may still prevent peremption from being pronounced by filing a useful proceeding, and in such case the court will grant the motion, but for costs only.
