Whether the Amsterdam default judgment satisfied Art. 34(2) CL despite disputed service of the summons
Decisione estratta
The evidence did not prove that the defendant received the initiating document in time and in a manner allowing him to defend himself.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 34(2) CL, service must concretely place the defaulting defendant in a position to participate; informal courier evidence and contractual address clauses did not provide comparable guarantees to proper judicial service.
