Rule 40.4 Service of judgments and ordersI1
England and Wales
Where a judgment or an order has been drawn up by a party and is to be served by the court—
the party who drew it up must file a copy to be retained at court and sufficient copies for service on him and on the other parties; and
once it has been sealed(GL), the court must serve a copy of it on each party to the proceedings.
Unless the court directs otherwise, any order made otherwise than at trial must be served on—
the applicant and the respondent; and
any other person on whom the court orders it to be served.
F1(Rule 6.21 sets out who is to serve a document other than the claim form.)
