FEATURE STORY/ YOU'VE BEEN SERVED
Getting served
with a lawsuit
happens just
like it does
on television.
Someone you do
not know walks
up, confirms
your identity
and hands you
a big envelope.
He tells you that
you have been served
and then —
as quickly as he came — he’s
gone. It’s no big deal to him. He’s off to his next
delivery, like a Purolator Courier. By the time he makes
it back to his car you have realised what has happened.
Everything has just changed. One moment ago you were standing
confidently in your clinic. Now you are being sued.
