Foreign Service of Process: An Alternative Method
Serving legal documents to foreign defendants can be complex, often delayed by international regulations and procedural hurdles. A recent U.S. court decision highlights an alternative method under Rule 4(f)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, offering hope for overcoming such challenges. This rule allows service by “other means not prohibited by international agreement,” including email or publication, when traditional methods fail. The case of Victaulic Company v. Allied Rubber & Gasket Co., Inc. illustrates how these methods can expedite service, especially amidst delays caused by the pandemic and issues with foreign authorities like China’s Central Authority. By embracing innovative approaches, litigants can navigate international service challenges more effectively, ensuring cases move forward without undue delays.
