Dispensing with personal service under Ord.45 r.7(7) was justified on the facts (director's role, evidence of notice including delivery at residence and public announcements); the company was in contempt for failure to file the affidavit in time; the director was liable under Ord.45 r.5 for not using his position to secure compliance; the custodial sentence was unnecessary in changed circumstances and was set aside while liability and costs orders were upheld.
