DEAR LEGAL WIZ,
Good day to you. Thanks for the great work you do. I personally have a problem with the Parish Court at Sutton Street in Jamaica. The Judge has said that no private person can serve a summons. I need a private person to serve MY summons. The person whom I am serving is tricky. The court assigned bailiffs that they want us to use has not been able to serve my summons.
He comes in very late and is always changing jobs because several persons are after him for the return of their money.

Dear Marsha Bell,
Good morning. From research the Judge at the Sutton Street location of the court has issues with a select group of persons who offer themselves to serve summons for persons. This group of men hang out on the compound of Sutton Street court. The truth is several issues have popped up in court with these men and their service of summons. The Judge’s decision broad brushes several persons who do not present anyone with problems.
Perhaps the decision of the court canvasses good, bad and indifferent and care must be taken not to broad brush persons.
As it relates to your case, consider going to court management or the Judges association for an address.
Legal Wiz
