A lawyer has successfully applied to the courts in Australia to have legal notice on a couple considered served when posted via a Facebook page.

**** no

too many name spoofers, someone could never be sure if they were serving papers to the right person.

I'm glad that in the US at least, paper copies are still required.

Well honestly, if you can't contact the owners by other means, then why not? It's their fault they provided information leading to the inability to contact them.

i don't think it is a case, of inability to contact, i think it is a case of "LALALALALALA i can't hear you, so you are not serving me papers LALALALALALALA"

Right, that's what I meant, the lawyer was unable to contact them and thus had to resort to other means

Did he have to be friends with the courts before he accepted?

I see nothing but problems with this

Hey we should be able to pay our taxes and preform other things like taking out loans via facebook. There could never be a question of identity over the internet and the accounts are uncrackable so nothing could ever go wrong. Even if it does you can just erase the problems away with delete!

We should also let masked men take money out of banks. They have name tags so we know who they are and "they promise" to pay us back later.
