Debt Collect London Ltd and another v SK Slavia Praha-fotbal AS – WLR Daily

Debt Collect London Ltd and another v SK Slavia Praha-fotbal AS [2010] EWCA Civ 1250; [2010] WLR (D) 281

“The proviso in art 30.1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 on jurisdiction and the recognition of judgments in civil and commercial matters (the Judgments Regulation) disapplied the general rule that the court was deemed to be seised of proceedings when they were lodged. Its effect, in a case where there had been a continuing failure by the claimant, having lodged proceedings in the court of one member state, to take the further step of paying the court fee which was required before service could be effected, was to enable the court of another member state in which proceedings had later been issued nevertheless to be deemed to have been first seised of proceedings between the same parties.”

Aktas v Adepta; Dixie v British Polythene Industries plc – WLR Daily

Aktas v Adepta; Dixie v British Polythene Industries plc [2010] EWCA Civ 1170 ; [2010] WLR(D) 269

“Negligent failure to serve a claim form in time for the purposes of CPR rr 7.5/7.6 was not in itself an abuse of process. Nevertheless, failure to serve on time had always been dealt with strictly. This was because in England, unlike most civil law jurisdictions, proceedings were commenced when issued and not when served. But it was not until service that the defendant was given proper notice of the proceedings. The additional time between issue and service was thus, in a way, an extension of the limitation period. A claimant could issue proceedings on the last day of the limitation period and still enjoy a further four-month period before service. The strictness with which the time for service was supervised thus had valid public interest underpinnings which were quite separate from the doctrine of abuse of process.”

Andrew Brown v Innovatorone plc and others [2009] EWHC 1376 (Comm); [2009] WLR (D) 205

“A claim form was not effectively served on a solicitor where the solicitor had not notified the claimant in writing that the solicitor had been instructed by the defendant to accept service on behalf of the defendant, and, while it did not require exceptional circumstances for exercise of the court’s power to authorise service by an alternative method to those specifically permitted, a rigorous approach was to be taken to the issue whether there was good reason to exercise that power.”
