Rule 6.9 Service by the bailiff
(1)
An applicant may request that an application be served by a bailiff delivering a copy of the application to the respondent personally.
(2)
The request must be made in accordance with Practice Direction 6A.
(3)
Where the bailiff is unable to serve the application, the applicant may apply to the court for an order under rule 6.19 (service by an alternative method or at an alternative place).
(Practice Direction 6A contains provision about when a request under this rule is appropriate.) (Rule 6.22 provides for notice of non-service by a bailiff.)
