Guide and Tory Bear both refer to "serving" official court papers but the Grauniad is reporting that this was just a letter of claim. There is is a big difference.

CPR Part 6.3
A claim form may be served by personal service in accordance with rule 6.5 or first class post, at a document exchange.

The provision for service by leaving it at a permitted place doesn't apply.

There's no "leaving it at the home address" or with a spouse exception nor any notion that a spouse is an agent for the purpose of service.

Bardirect,
I know this was the case in the good old days pre Woolfe's reforms, but surely the rules have changed? I can't imagine Dorrie's lawyers letting someone serve a claim without explaining how it must be done!

This just gets better

Has your cameraman got something wrong with them? I haven't seen shakes like that since I lived with my flatmate who liked one to many.........

"Personal service" on an individual requires leaving the summons with THAT person.

Service by first class post is an "alternative" to personal service.

A second class stamp or putting it through the letter box ain't enough - its an old bar exam question!

He may waive the point although there may be some liability in costs for not doing it right.

not true seeing as you can post them.

Sadly, service on a spouse doesn't count. You'll need to get a concurrent summons and post it or hand it to him.

Yes, Chris Paul. It was all Nadine's fault for allowing herself to be smeared!

How DARE she make Derek and Clive, sorry, Damian, plot to smear all those people?

Good work TB.

Post Common Purpose - depends whether this was a letter before action, or the actual claim form (TB, can you clarify?)

If the former, then the solicitors writing the letter specify a deadline for apologising and coughing up, or else court action follows.

If it's the claim form itself, they have 14 days to acknowledge service or contest jurisdiction (Form N9) and then 14 days after acknowledgement to either admit the claim or file a defence.

Just the thing for a boring Monday - excellent work and nicely synchronised with Guido's foray to see Damian McPoison. Suspect they won't be fancying much lunch today. :)

2009-09-07T12:34:37.769+01:00

Pantomime. Nadine effectively smeared herself. Noone would have known she was mentioned unless she had outed herself. What on earth is the complaint going to be here? And the "damage"? Prediction: all gets dropped or if not Nadine ends up paying everyone's costs.

Bravo, Mr Bear!

Good stuff! Will be interesting to see how they try to wriggle out of it now - and it'll be good fun if the preliminaries take place as Gordon takes to the podium in Brighton...

I don't know - the lengths you'll go to for Kate Garraway's autograph.
