Situational Awareness

The secret to good process serving is courtesy and professionalism. The heavy handed approach is not required. We are often thanked for keeping the matter confidential or for being tactful when approaching a person’s residence.

When you serve documents you need to be aware of GDPR considerations and Human Rights – the information you hold in the papers is very much, “Personal Information”. Exercise caution when speaking to a party that has not been identified as being the person you are serving….everyone has the right to have respect for their private and family life, home and correspondence –  just make sure you bear this in mind….

Accurate Reports

When you choose a process server you need to check that they are capable of producing error free Statements of Service or Affidavits of Service. These documents prove to the Court that the document has been served in the prescribed manner.

In summary, we recommend you ensure that your process servers are registered with an appropriate Trade Association and have full Professional Indemnity Insurances. They should be established and accredited, with a track record of excellence.
