P. 1247

Taylor who ordered that the proceedings be
                 adjourned to 30/05/2018 on the basis that personal
                 service of the committal applications did not take
                 place pursuant to CPR 81.10(4).
                 7.     On 02/05/2018 the Claimant instructed a
                 process server to effect personal service of the two
                 committal applications. However, the Defendant
                 refused to accept service despite identifying
                 himself to our process server. In view of the
                 Defendant's refusal to accept personal service of
                 the documents the Claimant is making the present
                 application notice to seek the Court’s permission
                 to dispense with service pursuant to CPR 81.10
                 (5). The Court should also note that the
                 Defendant's mother Ms Lorraine Cordell accepts
                 that the two committal applications were received
                 by Post in any event. There is a witness statement
                 of attempted service from Mr Andy Philippou
                 dated 08/05/2018 which is attached to this
                 application dated 10/05/2018.
                 8.     Further breaches of the injunction were
                 also committed by the Defendant on inside and
                 outside of the Edmonton Court County Court
                 premises. The Defendant was shouting, swearing
                 and made threats to two of the Claimant’s
                 employees and one neighbour who attend a Court
                 hearing on the day. The incident is supported by
                 the witness statements of Lemmy Nwabuisi and
                 Ms Balbinder Kaur Geddes which are attached to
                 this application.
                 9.     As a result of the recent incident, the
                 Claimant has decided to issue an application
                 notice dated 11/05/2018 to include the incident in
                 the committal application dated 20/04/2018. An
                 amended committal application was prepared, and
                 personal service was attempted upon the
                 Defendant by our process servicer on 11/05/2018
                 but this was refused by the Defendant. There is a
                 witness statement of attempted service from Mr
                 Andy Philippou dated 11/05/2018. In view of the
                 Defendant’s refusal to accept an amended
                 committal application, the Claimant would ask
                 permission from the Court to dispense with
                 personal service of the amended committal
                 application and to allow service to take place by
                 other means.
                 10.    This application is made ex parte on the
                 basis that the next hearing to hear the committal
                 application is listed on 30/05/2018 and the
                 Defendant needs to be served with the two
