How can an application be personally served on a partnership?

When serving an application on a partnership, the proper method is to personally serve it by leaving it with a partner or an agent in charge. This aligns with the legal standard that recognizes partnerships as collective entities, where the actions of one partner can effectively represent the interests and obligations of the entire partnership.

By delivering the application to an individual who holds a significant role within the partnership, such as a partner or an authorized agent, the serving party ensures that the application has been brought to the attention of those who have the authority to act on behalf of the partnership. This method guarantees that the partnership receives notice in a manner that is direct and clear.

In contrast, sending documents via registered mail does not ensure personal delivery, as it relies on postal services and may not be received immediately or at all. Email notification also lacks the formality and certainty of personal service and may not be a recognized method of service unless explicitly permitted by the court. Serving at the partnership's registered address could be effective but does not substitute for personal service on representatives of the partnership, especially when timely communication is necessary for legal proceedings.
