About this document

Improper Service of Summons in BD v. RS by Stella Lyn is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The court ruled that service of summons on the defendant corporation (RS) was improper. According to the rules of civil procedure, summons must be personally served on specific high-ranking officers of a corporation, such as the president or corporate secretary. Here, summons was served on an ordinary staff member of RS instead of one of the enumerated officers. Substituted service is only allowed if personal service cannot be done within a reasonable time period, which was not established in this case.
