Social media platforms: Not only a medium for sharing pictures or circulating humorous memes, but also a method of serving documents in civil litigation proceedings?
Earlier this year, we acted in the case of Braet v Ramputh as counsel for one of the Defendants.1 Our client sought to defend the action, as well as to commence a Crossclaim against another Defendant.
