Dodging the law
I was idly musing how long someone could avoid being served a writ by hiding behind say the gates of a palace, just as an example. Surely a time must come when the plaintiffs must be said to have tried hard enough and the writ is effectively served. Of course there would be complications if the writ came from another country but that’s not what I’m thinking of, of course not.
Here in South Africa, they can serve by fixing it to the door/gate of your registered property.GogLais wrote: Mon Sep 13, 2021 12:22 pm I was idly musing how long someone could avoid being served a writ by hiding behind say the gates of a palace, just as an example.

Same here. Also pretty certain there is unlikely to be any legal process that could justify it in the case we may be referring to..sorCrer wrote: Mon Sep 13, 2021 12:26 pmHere in South Africa, they can serve by fixing it to the door/gate of your registered property.GogLais wrote: Mon Sep 13, 2021 12:22 pm I was idly musing how long someone could avoid being served a writ by hiding behind say the gates of a palace, just as an example.
