What could possibly top “Getting Fired via Facebook” (posted August 14, 2009)?
Here’s the latest: an Alberta judge has allowed a defendant to be served via Facebook. Shaunna Mireau of slaw.ca reported as follows:
The February 5, 2009 Order of Master Breitkreuz from Knott v. Sutherland says that the plaintiffs could substitutionally serve one of the multiple defendants by publication of a notice in the newspaper, by forwarding a copy of the statement of claim to the human resources department where the defendant (formerly) worked, and also by sending notice of the action to the Facebook profile of the defendant.
