Order 10 r.1 does not displace the Companies Ordinance and Interpretation Ordinance; service on a company by registered post is governed by s.356 read with s.8 and the time of service is a question of fact to be proved; the judge erred in taking judicial notice of a four‑day delivery time without evidence; on the merits the defendant demonstrated a real prospect of success because the pleadings did not aver sale through an agent and there were substantive issues about whether the sub-sale fell within the sole agency period.
