Abstract EN

The Service of Process is a major issue when discussing legal litigation.

It is the official form drawn up by law to inform the parties of the content of a judicial paper.

The Code of Civil Procedure has adopted specific procedures that must be followed in a specific order and sequence when regulating the Service of Process when conducted traditionally.

In response to technological development and to speed up the litigation period and reduce the problematical issues that may accompany the Service of Process in their traditional form, the Jordanian legislature has adopted specific mechanisms that allow for judicial notifications to be conducted electronically.

To this end, this research highlights relevant issues related to electronic Service of Process according to current legislative rules and judicial jurisprudence.

It will explain the extent to which the current texts can address relevant issues related to the electronic Service of Process and the legal authenticity resulting from the means used in the notification procedure.

In this regard, this paper concluded that although the Service of Process is given legal authenticity when done electronically, the issue of resorting to electronic means to conduct it shall take place within narrow limits.

In other words, the electronic Service of Process does not replace the traditional service of process, except in exceptional cases.

This paper also concluded that there is a need to amend some legal texts to suit the technological development of the service of process.
