Misnomer not to vitiate summons

(1) No misnomer or inaccurate description of any person or place in any such plaint or summons shall vitiate it, if the person or place is therein described so as to be commonly known. (2) If the misnomer or inaccurate description appears to the court at the hearing to have deceived or misled the defendant, the court may make any necessary amendment and, if it is expedient to do so, adjourn the further hearing of the case upon any terms the court thinks fit.
