Keeping Cases Moving – Why Reliable Process Serving Matters During the Festive Slowdown
As the Christmas lights start to go up, plenty of offices begin to slow down. People take holidays, courts shorten their hours, and suddenly those urgent documents that needed serving last week are still sitting on a desk somewhere.
It’s a familiar story. The festive period might be full of good cheer, but for solicitors trying to keep cases on track, it can also bring a fair amount of frustration.
That’s exactly when having a professional process server becomes invaluable.
The Festive Slowdown
December is a tricky month for legal professionals. Deadlines don’t move just because the mince pies are out, but the people you’re trying to reach often do.
Defendants and respondents might be away visiting family, ignoring correspondence, or even deliberately making themselves difficult to find. Offices can be closed, and postal delays add yet another layer of stress.
Meanwhile, the clock on your case keeps ticking.
A missed service date can cause unnecessary hold-ups – or worse, procedural problems that are expensive and time-consuming to fix later.
That’s why using a professional process server isn’t just helpful – it’s essential.
Why Use a Professional
A professional process server does far more than hand over papers. They understand the importance of timing, evidence and accuracy.
At EJM Investigations, we make sure that every service is completed correctly, documented properly and backed up with a statement of truth or certificate of service.
Because our servers are experienced investigators, we’re also used to tracking people down – even when they’d rather not be found. If an address turns out to be wrong or someone is avoiding contact, we can carry out basic tracing to locate them quickly.
We also work flexibly, often outside standard office hours. If that means making an evening visit or an early morning call to get the job done, we’ll do it. The result is less waiting, fewer delays, and smoother progress for your case.
Keeping the Momentum Going
At this time of year, momentum matters. Once things start slowing down, it can take weeks for proceedings to pick up again in January. Using a professional process server helps you stay ahead of the curve – keeping cases moving even while others are winding down.
EJM Investigations provide a reliable service across the UK, supporting solicitors, local authorities and private clients alike. Every instruction is handled promptly and discreetly, with regular updates so you know exactly where things stand.
So whether it’s a last-minute service before the courts close or a tricky case that needs persistence and care, our team is here to make sure it happens.
