Summary

Two defendants in a family dispute applied to set aside substituted service orders and the service of cause papers. The court dismissed the application by the 12th defendant (a natural person), finding the claimants had properly attempted personal service and that substituted service was appropriate, but granted the application by the 11th defendant (a BVI company), holding that posting documents at a director's residential address did not constitute valid personal service on a foreign company.
