Is there any case law where a Respondent is actively avoiding service and thereby making the ISO process unworkable?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Simmons v Ferguson, 2018 NSSC 262 (CanLII):

In Fraser v. Tighe, supra, I found the Respondent was actively avoiding service and thereby making the ‘ISO’ process unworkable because an inability to effect service on the Respondent in the other jurisdiction (Alberta) became an obstacle to the process moving to a conclusion.
