The Plaintiffs, a consortium of telecommunications and media companies, brought a motion to validate service of their Statement of Claim on the Defendant, Tomasz Kaczmarek, who is alleged to be involved in operating illegal pirated IPTV services.
Despite multiple attempts at personal service and registered mail, Kaczmarek appeared to evade service, including transferring property ownership.
The court granted the order validating service as of October 21, 2022, finding that Kaczmarek had notice of the claim and was evading service, and ordered costs payable by Kaczmarek on a substantial indemnity basis.
