UPC APP 5858/2024

The Paris Local Division issued a procedural order in ICPillar LLC v. ARM group, granting ICPillar's application for an alternative method of service (Rule 275.1 RoP) on Arm Poland Sp. z.o.o. via French bailiff, after registered letter service had failed, while confirming that service was otherwise successfully effected on the remaining ARM defendants.

Procedural order from the Paris Local Division (UPC_CFI_495/2023) concerning an alternative method of service under R. 275.1 RoP. The Court addressed the applicant ICPillar's request to serve its Statement of Claim on Arm Poland via a French bailiff and by registered letter. The Court clarified that alternative service is only authorised where service could not otherwise be effected, and that a 10-day delay from sending a registered letter to a Hague Convention Central Authority does not constitute a failure of service.
