In Australia, summons have been served through facebook.
In the Philippines, Rule 14 Section 15 of the Rules of Court allow for personal service, publication in a newspaper of general circulation, service by registered mail or "in any other manner the court may deem sufficient" for extraterritorial service of summons.
In this day and age when most everyone has access to the internet, is it possible to serve summons through email or facebook or multiply or friendster? This would be interesting to test in our courts someday. Will the Philippine courts eventually find this option sufficient for extraterrritorial service of summons?
It would be interesting to have e-summons. By then, no one can hide from the law.
