On non-English speaking defendant

Tseitline v Mikhelson and others [2015] EWHC 3065 (Comm), [2015] All ER (D) 252 (Oct) NLJ 13 November

The Commercial Court considered whether the first defendant, M, had been validly served with proceedings by process servers. The court considered the wider issue of service by process servers and held that, although M spoke little English, in the circumstances, the gist of the situation had been conveyed to him by his English-speaking companions. M had been validly served with the claim form.
