Service of process introduction and working with a process server

Service of process in Australia is relatively simple. In case you find yourself dealing with a process server, we’ve created a quick intro to get you started on what process serving is.

In Australia, a court case begins when the originating motion outlining the nature of the claim is filed with the court. If a court-stamped copy of this process is not served to the other party (the ‘defendant’), it may become stale. Consequently, it may be dismissed.

A process server is a bit like a debt collector. Service of a document is the process of making sure that any person who is required to be given a copy of an application to the court or any other legal document is given it in a way which complies with the relevant legal rules. A process server is in charge of personally leaving a copy of the relevant legal document with the defendant.
