As Chinese businessman Su Zhirong still cannot be found to be served with court papers that he has been sued by Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, the Vice President’s legal team is now preparing to apply to the court for substituted service.
“This was a fixed date application case. As three attempts were made to serve him and he could not be found, you are now allowed to ask the court for substituted service…to make a publication of this…before further steps,” a source explained to Stabroek News.
The court must see evidence that attempts were made to personally serve Su the papers before a notice could be published and this newspaper understands that Jagdeo’s legal team is preparing to go to the courts to ask for this next step.
