Service out of the Jurisdiction in UK Law
-
1) Albert John Martin Abela and Others (Respondents/Claimants) v Ahmad Baadarani
“
This characterisation of the jurisdiction to allow service out is traditional, and was originally based on the notion that the service of proceedings abroad was an assertion of sovereign power over the Defendant and a corresponding interference with the sovereignty of the state in which process was served. The decision is generally a pragmatic one in the interests of the efficient conduct of litigation in an appropriate forum.

AK Investment CJSC v Kyrgyz Mobil Tel Ltd
“
First, the claimant must satisfy the court that in relation to the foreign defendant there is a serious issue to be tried on the merits, i.e. a substantial question of fact or law, or both. Third, the claimant must satisfy the court that in all the circumstances the Isle of Man is clearly or distinctly the appropriate forum for the trial of the dispute, and that in all the circumstances the court ought to exercise its discretion to permit service of the proceedings out of the jurisdiction.

Amin Rasheed Shipping Corporation v Kuwait Insurance Company
“
The intention must be to impose upon the plaintiff the burden of showing good reasons why service of a writ, calling for appearance before an English court, should, in the circumstances, be permitted upon a foreign defendant. In considering this question the court must take into account the nature of the dispute, the legal and practical issues involved, such questions as local knowledge, availability of witnesses and their evidence and expense.

“
Secondly, the claimant must satisfy the court that there is a good arguable case that the claim against the foreign defendant falls within one or more of the classes of case for which leave to serve out of the jurisdiction may be given.

Vitkovice Horni A Hutni Tezirstvo v Korner
“
That Rule, which applies equally to an application under any of the heads of Rule 1, provides that "every application for leave to serve such writ or notice on a defendant out of the jurisdiction shall be supported by affidavit or other evidence, stating that in the belief of the deponent the plaintiff has a good cause of action … and the grounds upon which the application is made ; and no such leave shall be granted unless it shall be made sufficiently to appear to the Court or Judge that the case is a proper one for service out of the jurisdiction under this order."

Leal v Dunlop Bio-Processes International Ltd
“
I share the opinion of Lord Justice Slade that if it is wrong to allow the plaintiff to continue these statute-barred proceedings by extending the validity of his writ under O. 6 r.8 to enable the plaintiff to apply to issue a concurrent writ for service out of the jurisdiction under O. 6 r.6, it must be wrong to allow him to continue them by giving him leave to serve it out of the jurisdiction under O. 11 r.1.

Cecil & others v Ehsanollah Bayat & others
“
Because service out of the jurisdiction without the consent of the State in which service is to be effected is an interference with the sovereignty of that state, service on a party to the Hague Convention by an alternative method under CPR 6.15 should be regarded as exceptional, to be permitted in special circumstances only.
