Trump is suing the BBC for Ten Billion USD.

I think there may be some media spin on this. There is a well established process for serving on people in office in the US.

Also the alternative (that we have) allows bad actors to deliberately serve on incorrect addresses to obtain default judgements so that the first the person knows is when someone turns up and lifts their car off the drive.

AI says that if they're being sued as a private citizen then the rules are the same as for anyone else. Which means you can't just hand the papers to a random agent or to a branch of the government.

Happy to be corrected though.

Spin or not, the correct people are using the system to avoid service, when their lawyers could perfectly well do it on their behalf, That is gaming the system as much as deliberately serving the wrong address (a form of fraud).

They are following standard processes. Given 90% of CCJ are issued in default, in the UK, their process is clearly better than ours.

They can cower away all they like, but the US Fedaral court will catch up with them. As soon as it comes to telling the truth, Trump and his vile spawn will run a mile.

Yep, standard process is for richer defendants to avoid the summons as long as possible to drag the process out and hope the other party screws up or runs out of time. No sign of media spin, just letting people know about the games played. The BBC are following the standard process just like Trump.

CCJ is an odd comparison though. These are demands for someone to provide testimony, not pay an outstanding debt.
