Kentucky’s rules governing service of process in civil actions are unique and potentially burdensome to plaintiffs. Whatever method of service is chosen is fraught with risks of delay and noncompliance, whether through personal service, service on corporations, or constructive service through warning order attorneys.
If the warning order attorney fails to take the steps required by the civil rules, another warning order attorney must be appointed and the service clock starts anew. Second, as to resident businesses, service must be obtained on the registered agent.
KRS 14A.4-040 calls for service on a resident corporation or partnership through its agent registered for service of process. However, if such service fails, the statutes allow for service to be completed by mailing the summons and complaint by certified mail to any officer or managing agent at the corporation or partnership’s principal office.
A warning order attorney does not represent the party in any capacity unless that party requests representation and the warning order attorney agrees.
The warning order attorney then has 50 days to attempt to locate and inform the party of the pending lawsuit and file a report setting forth the steps taken to notify the party, whether the notification was successful, and whether there are any defenses available. Service is deemed complete 30 days after entry of the warning order attorney.
