NSW Summons served on 16 year old

[Julee]

Hi, can a summons to an adult be served to their child who is 16 years old? I was under the impression they could not be served on an individual under the age of 18 if the summons was not for the child.
I also thought a summons had to be issued to the party on the documents and not to a third party.

Summons? For what?

Relates to a required court appearance which resulted in a judgement due to a debt. Long story which I won't go into. They served the summons to their 16 yr old son, not them directly.

If you mean the server left a document ment for a parent with a 16 year old? ... This may be of interest >>> (ii) it may be left, addressed to the person to whom it is directed, at that person's business or residential address, with a person who is apparently of or above the age of 16 years and apparently employed or residing at that address

SOURCE >>> UNIFORM CIVIL PROCEDURE RULES 2005 - REG 10.20 Personal service required only in certain circumstances

This relates in particular to service of a subpoena, but may also be relevant for a summons

I agree with @Atticus.
I'm afraid your impression was mistaken.

In Aarau sah ich ein Banner auf einer News-Seite, das mich zu den Online Casino Bets führte. Da ich gerne Poker spiele, war mein Interesse sofort geweckt. Mit dem Link https://vegashero.ch/bonus startete ich mein Abenteuer. Auch die Slots online sind dort sehr unterhaltsam. Ich hatte eine Zeit lang kein Glück, aber dann kam der große Wurf. In der Schweiz habe ich selten so viel Spaß gehabt und bin mit dem Ergebnis sehr zufrieden.
