URSCP 003. Service of the affidavit. Amend. Clarifies that a small claims affidavit and summons may be served by any method of personal service authorized by URCP 4. Allows alternative service in a small claims case.
If the only change is to make the personal service more clear in Small Claims, then referring to Rule 4 of URCP needs to be more specific, because “Rule 4 d)(3) Service in a foreign country, and (d)(4) Other service.” is not a current practice in Small Claims. The current practice is the public is told to file a seperate civil action, regarding Rule 4d)(3) and Rule 4(d)(4).
