Service Out Of Jurisdiction Allowed Against Impecunious Defendant
Tasarruf Mevduati Sigorta Fonu v Demirel and another [2007] EWCA Civ 799
CA
Weekly Law Reports Summary
26 July 2007
The court had power under CPR r 6.20(9) to permit service outside the jurisdiction of a claim to enforce a foreign judgment where the defendant, who lived abroad, had no assets in the jurisdiction. Ordinarily it would not be just to permit service outside the jurisdiction unless there was a real prospect of a legitimate benefit to the claimant from the English proceedings.
