Alternative service
Alternative service
I am satisfied that it is appropriate to serve the order recording the effect of my rulings on VTB using the same means of alternative service set out in paragraphs 7.1 and 7.3 of the December 2024 Order and on PCB Byrne LLP, and to dispense with personal service for the purpose of CPR 81.4(2)(c). The court having concluded that these coercive orders are appropriate, service should be effected with the minimum delay.
