Thanks for commenting! You are right that the opinion lacks any real explanation of why the Convention bar service of process by email in China when the defendant’s address is known. At some point I hope we will have an Eleventh Circuit opinion, but it may not be anytime soon!

Without much fanfare, this is quite the reversal in the SDFLA – a venue that Sched. A. plaintiffs may try to retreat to now that 2nd Cir and 7th Cir have become inhospitable on the service front.

DISLOSURE: I was the defense attorney for HYHA in this case.
