WHAT IS PROCESS SERVING?
YOU NEED A DISCREET, PROFESSIONAL, EXPERIENCED PERSON.
Depending on the nature of the case, court documents may need to be personally delivered by hand (typically by a fixed date set by the court), affording the receiver a reasonable amount of time to react.
In addition to delivering the documents, the process server must first get the recipient's identification and, in many situations, a signed proof of service.
In New Zealand, the rules for serving documents are highly detailed, and they vary slightly from court to court. Understanding the laws of the Ministry of Justice is crucial to ensuring that your documents are served appropriately and that the service will stand up in court if necessary.
