Process
Service Network is one of a few firms that specializes in
international service of process and offers competitive rates on foreign
services. Here is a summary of the
methods available for service outside the United States and a specific proposal
for the requested nation.
Our job is to cut through the bureaucracy and red tape to get the service
completed with as little delay as possible.
Since we have been in business for 28 years, we have developed close
working relationships with key individuals in most countries throughout the
world. The founder and President of
Process
Service Network was a Political Science major in
college with a focus on international relations and is actively involved in a
worldwide organization through which he has developed business and personal
relationships in over 80 nations worldwide. FORMAL
SERVICE: Many
countries are signatories to the Hague Service Convention (treaty) that
governs service of process to be effected between participating nations.
Service may be made by formal service through the Central Authority which
itself arranges for service by methods prescribed in the particular Province.
Although CANADA is a signer of the Hague Service Convention, it is common
to use the informal method of service. The time frame for formal service can range from 1 to 3
months (recently 1 1/2 months). Advantage:
Enforceable judgment. Disadvantage: Time delay and cost. INFORMAL
SERVICE:
Private process servers may serve documents in most countries, whether a
signer of the Hague Service Convention, or not.
Service is normally handled in a manner similar to methods used in the
United States. Service in CANADA is very efficient and similar to the time
frames within the United States. Since
we pay the process server a bonus (at our own expense) for prompt service, the
normal delays are usually reduced. Advantage: Time and cost (average turnaround time is
currently 1 to 2 weeks depending upon the availability of the Defendant). Disadvantage: Judgment
may not be enforceable if the Defendant challenges
the service. LETTERS
ROGATORY:
Letters Rogatory is a request from a court in the United States to
a court in a foreign country requesting international judicial assistance
related to service of process when taking the deposition of a witness.
The U.S. State Department does not recommend this method given the
habitual time delays of up to 2 years in the execution of requests.
Use for taking of depositions. TRANSLATIONS:
The language is English, except in Quebec Province (French).
It is possible, although rare, that a demurer could be filed based upon
lack of understanding by the defendant as to the nature and meaning of
un-translated documents. COSTS: Service of process: Formal = $ 485.00 + US$50.00 (local Bailiff fee)
Informal =
$
285.00
Letters Rogatory = $1975.00
All
fess are per defendant/address Translation:
Not required, except in Quebec province where French is the official language. Cost:
$ 0.38
