The Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2011 (SI 2011/88) came into force on 6 April 2011. They widen Pt 6 provisions for the location of a party’s address for service. Generally, the permissible addresses for service of a legally represented party are now the business address of their solicitor whether in the UK or any other EEA state or the business address of their European lawyer nominated to accept service which is in any EEA state. For a party in person the address must be that at which they reside or carry on business in the UK or any other EEA state. In all other cases, the address must be within the UK. Online money and possession claims are the exception where the address must be in England and Wales.
