The same day, and often within hours. Injunctions are usually granted because the situation is urgent, and most orders only bite once the respondent has notice of them, so solicitors send the sealed order to a process server immediately. Tremark serves urgent injunctions nationwide, including evenings and weekends, with the statement of service returned the same day.
Whether it is a non-molestation order, a freezing injunction or an order restraining publication or harassment, the protection generally begins when the respondent knows of the order. Every hour between sealing and service is an hour in which the conduct the court has just prohibited can lawfully continue in ignorance. That is why urgent service is a distinct discipline: the server is briefed while the hearing is still running, positioned near the respondent’s address, and hands over the papers as soon as the sealed order arrives electronically.
Give us the respondent’s details, addresses and any risk information as early as possible, even before the order is made. We confirm coverage, plan the attempt, and can work to court deadlines measured in hours, coordinating with counsel’s clerks and the court office. Where a respondent’s whereabouts are uncertain, a same day trace runs alongside so service is not defeated by an out of date address; see how long a trace takes.
Urgency never excuses thin evidence, because these are exactly the orders most likely to end in enforcement proceedings. Our servers complete the statement or affidavit of service immediately after the attempt, capturing identification, time, place, documents handed over and the respondent’s response, so the file is enforcement ready from hour one.
Tremark's nationwide team of process servers completes most instructions at a fixed fee, with a certificate of service included as standard. Get an exact price for your instruction in under a minute.
