What is Process Serving?

In New Zealand all parties facing legal action or named as a defendant in any legal proceedings must be notified.

This notification is known as service of process. 

Depending on the nature of the case, the court documents may need to be personally delivered by hand (usually by a pre-determined date set by the court) allowing a suitable timeframe for the recipient to respond.

In addition to delivering the documents the process server must first get the recipient to acknowledge their identity, and in many cases get a signed proof of service.

Advantages of using a professional...

Process servers...
 

• Have the expertise to understand the various and often complicated rules of process serving, ensuring that the papers are properly served and the service is recognised by the courts.
  E.g. Legal documents must be served on appropriate days and at specific times.
   

• Have access to a wide network of other process servers thereby being able to easily get papers served in areas other than your local jurisdiction.
   

• Have tools available to locate subjects when needed (skip trace).
   

• Are independent and not party to the proceedings in question and there by have no vested interest in the proceeding or its outcome. This allows them to remain impartial while doing the job they have been tasked with.
