Smith pointed me. Assuming that these rules apply, I think they undercut the Florida court’s decision. Under Rule 2, documents are served on an individual in Guernsey by the Sergeant, by one of the following methods: (1) à personne; (2) à domicile; or (3) after service of the initial pleading, at the place the defendant chose in his élection de domicile.

Service at a place of business does not seem to be an option.

Thank you for the helpful comment! I suppose this undercuts the reasoning of the case.
