The BBC has failed multiple times to serve Donald Trump’s family members with legal orders in the US President’s defamation case against the broadcaster.
The national broadcaster has been attempting to subpoena Mr Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr; his daughter, Ivanka Trump; and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to require them to give evidence, however, multiple efforts have failed so far.
Adding to this, we all know the Hollywood portrayal of serving papers, and that one is real, but it’s not the only one. Courts can and do approve alternate methods, including certified mail, email, and posting in local newspapers.
