409. The plaintiff must have the judgment rendered in the action served upon the corporation, by leaving an authentic copy thereof with the secretary-treasurer.
Service must also be made upon any other person designated by the court. Upon failure by the plaintiff to cause the service to be made within eight days of the judgment, any ratepayer may cause it to be made.
If, by the final judgment, the election of the defendant is annulled and another candidate is declared elected, the latter must be recognized by the council. If the final judgment merely annuls the election without assigning the office to another person, the office is deemed vacant from the service of the judgment on the secretary-treasurer.
