6.23.—(1) A party to proceedings must give an address at which that party may be served with documents relating to those proceedings. The address must include a full postcode [F3or its equivalent in any EEA state (if applicable)] unless the court orders otherwise.
(Paragraph 2.4 of [F4Practice Direction 16] contains provisions about postcodes.)
[F5(2) Except where any other rule or practice direction makes different provision, a party’s address for service must be—
(a)the business address either within the United Kingdom or any other EEA state of a solicitor acting for the party to be served; or
(b)the business address in any EEA state of a European Lawyer nominated to accept service of documents; or
(c)where there is no solicitor acting for the party or no European Lawyer nominated to accept service of documents —
(i)an address within the United Kingdom at which the party resides or carries on business; or
(ii)an address within any other EEA state at which the party resides or carries on business.
(For Production Centre Claims see paragraph 2.3(7) [F6and (7A)] of Practice Direction 7C; for Money Claims Online see [F7paragraph 4(3A) and (6)] of Practice Direction 7E; and for Possession Claims Online see [F8paragraph 5.1(3A) and (4)] of Practice Direction 55B.)]
(3) Where [F9none of sub-paragraphs (2)(a), (b) or (c) applies], the party must give an address for service within the United Kingdom.
(Part 42 contains provisions about change of solicitor. Rule 42.1 provides that where a party gives the business address of a solicitor as that party’s address for service, that solicitor will be considered to be acting for the party until the provisions of Part 42 are complied with.)
(4) [F10Subject to the provisions of Section IV of this Part (where applicable), any] document to be served in proceedings must be sent or transmitted to, or left at, the party’s address for service under paragraph (2) or (3) unless it is to be served personally or the court orders otherwise.
(5) Where, in accordance with [F11Practice Direction 6A], a party indicates or is deemed to have indicated that they will accept service by fax, the fax number given by that party must be at the address for service.
(6) Where a party indicates in accordance with [F12Practice Direction 6A] that they will accept service by electronic means other than fax, the e-mail address or electronic identification given by that party will be deemed to be at the address for service.
(7) In proceedings by or against the Crown, service of any document in the proceedings on the Crown must be effected in the same manner prescribed in rule 6.10 as if the document were a claim form.
(8) This rule does not apply where an order made by the court under rule 6.27 (service by an alternative method or at an alternative place) specifies where a document may be served.
