Ordinary Service
If you are serving a document by ordinary service, you can serve it by either of the methods of special service:
The additional methods of ordinary service depend on whether or not the person has given an address for service. Particularly for the initial documents served in a dispute, a party may not have provided an address for service to the Court.
If the person has given an address for service
In this situation, you can serve documents by:
- putting the documents in a sealed envelope addressed to the person and:
- delivering them to the address, or
- posting them to the address, or
- sending the documents to a fax number or email address provided as an address for service.
If the person has not given an address for service
In this situation, you can serve documents by:
- putting the documents in a sealed envelope addressed to the person and:
- delivering them to the person's last known address or place of business, or
- posting them to the person's last known address or place of business, or
- handing the documents to the person.
