The court refused permission for substituted service to a Mainland address because service of the writ in the Mainland must be effected via the prescribed Mainland–HKSAR judicial arrangement and Order 11 r.5A(1) requires transmission through Mainland judicial authorities; the attempted private service by the applicants’ agent was therefore legally ineffective and substituted service by post was not justified; the applicants must therefore effect service of the writ via the Arrangement before further steps are taken.
