Hi - I'm hoping someone can help me clarify the law on the following.
I have received court papers intended for someone else. The address is correct (my address), however I told the ? court officer clearly that there was no-one living at my address with the name he had, and I had no idea who it was. I then went indoors and they posted papers through the door in a plain white envelope which just said name, address and date of court hearing (early next week). I think they are wrong to have done this because:
- although they can serve papers to last known residence, I had clearly told them there was no one of that name known to me.
- In order to contact the court I have had to open the envelope to find out who to contact. I think this is a breach of information governance.
Can someone who knows more about this please let me know your thoughts?
He was also intimidating, so I will be asking for a formal apology (and have a witness to this)
Many thanks
