Costs relating to execution of the request for service (Art. 12): |
For each attempt made by the peace officer to have the document successfully served on the individual / company the fee of eighty dollars (US$80) is charged. If the address provided by the requesting State is incorrect and the peace officer has to verify the same by searching the Registrar General’s Companies Department to ascertain the correct address of the company, the sum of one hundred and sixty dollars (US$160) would be charged. This figure is based on the fact that he would have made an attempt to serve the documents with the address originally provided, and then on the second occasion when the correct address has been established, the documents would then be served on the company. |
