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.

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
