Services
Every Service Your Matter Requires
From straightforward personal service to complex skip traces, Rule 16 Process Serving provides the full range of process serving and document services required by Ontario litigation.
Personal Service
Direct delivery of legal documents to the named respondent, executed in strict compliance with Rule 16 of the Ontario Rules of Civil Procedure. Each attempt is documented with date, time, location, and a physical description of the person served.
Required for originating process, motions, and most court documents
Substituted Service
When personal service cannot be effected after reasonable attempts, we prepare the supporting documentation required for a motion for substituted service — including a detailed affidavit of attempts and proposed method of substituted service.
Full documentation package included for motion materials
Affidavit of Service
A sworn affidavit of service is prepared and commissioned following every completed service. The affidavit is court-ready and compliant with Form 16B of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
Commissioned and delivered within one business day of service
