ABSTRACT
Since the court claims jurisdiction over any person present within the jurisdiction (even if such presence is temporary), proceedings may be served on any such person without the permission of the court. However, the court will not assume jurisdiction over any person outside the jurisdiction unless:
(a) jurisdiction is given by a particular statute; (b) the defendant voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction by, for example,
instructing a local attorney to accept service on his behalf, or by failure to dispute the jurisdiction after acknowledging service;1 or
(c) the court assumes jurisdiction under the CPR and gives the claimant permission to serve proceedings outside the jurisdiction.
