American Leisure Group Ltd v Garrard and others [2014] EWHC 2101 (Ch), [2014] All ER (D) 218 (Jun)

CPR 7.5(2) was not concerned with, and did not permit, service of a claim form within the jurisdiction. The scheme of CPR 7.5 was clear. CPR 7.5(1) was concerned with the service of a claim form within the jurisdiction and CPR 7.5(2) was concerned with its service out of the jurisdiction. That was made clear, not only by the words in CPR 7.5(2), but also by the opening words of CPR 7.5(1). The effect of CPR 7.5 was that a claim form was valid for service within the jurisdiction for four months after the date of its issue or, if it was to be served out of the jurisdiction, for six months after the date of issue.
