Talk:Service of process

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If a party didn't get serve in person and was serve by an inter-office mail at work. Would that be acceptable?

  • Depends on the rules of the jurisdiction, but it could potentially go both ways. It may be legitimate service, or it could be procedurally defective. So long as the person actually got served. You may wish to consult a lawyer if you have any questions. Mmmbeer 17:01, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Why does Legal process redirect here? Is this something you do not have in America?--Seamus O'Halloran 22:19, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

In the U.S.A. "Legal process" is a term commonly used to describe any procedure available under the law, not just service of process. You can see what I mean by conducting a search on Google: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22legal+process%22&btnG=Google+Search

[edit] Process Serving

Would it be possible to have 'process serving' direct to this page. Generally, that's what it is known as in the UK and Ireland. I thought the page didn't exist at first, because my first entry when looking for it was 'process serving'. Unfortunately, I'm new to Wikipedia and I don't know how to do it myself!

It seems that the content from the article on Process agents would be more appropriate merged in to the content from the article on Process servers. CheshireKatz 03:11, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

It seems that the definition of service of process is flawed, legal notice is not neccesarily achieved by effectuating service of process. At least in the U.S., it is possible to satisfy service of process without satisfying legal notice as required by the Due Process Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Please include a link to the local, State or Federal code you are referring to above.

[edit] Service on Corporations

The following, in regards to service of process on a corporation's registered agent, is incorrect (Service on an agent of a corporation is a form of personal service):

"Acceptance by an agent for acceptance of service is a form of substituted service"
