out of jurisdiction serving of papers

[legaleaglet]

Helping a mate in England with a small claims against a company registered in Scotland. Completed N1 and N510 (for jurisdiction).

Court has issued the case along with a letter stating that CPR 6.4b only refers to general services by post within England & Wales and does not apply to foreign process (Scotland is now foreign).

Does he now post the Notice of Issue and a copy of the Claim Form by recorded delivery to the defendant within the 6 month required period? thanks.

You will need to apply for permission to serve the claim form out of the jurisdiction: CPR 6.36

This assumes that CPR6.34 has not been followed.

CPR Practice Direction 6B covers service out of the jurisdiction.

It occurs to me that the above may not be the information you seek. CPR 6.3 sets out methods of service. CPR6.35 the extended time limits when serving a defendant in Scotland.
