According to Rule 13, sec. 10, service is completed upon actual delivery. Or if through mail, upon ten (10) days after mailing, unless the court otherwise provides. For registered mail, it is five (5) days from receipt of addressee or first notic of the postmaster, whichever is earlier.
With that in mind, why do we need to count such days if we could send services through e-mail? Isn't it logical that the rules of court should provide for an easier and more effective way to inform parties of their litigation concerns and to get jurisdiction over their persons? A professor once said that e-mails are not probably allowed since it is not provided in the rules. I say we change the rules. What do you think?
