Question juridique clé
Whether the summons for the merits hearing was valid despite the defendant's change of address.
Solution extraite
The summons was valid because the defendant had a duty to inform the court of her new address, the court had made reasonable efforts to locate her, and publication in the official gazette was not required since this was not the first procedural act.
Motifs extraits
The wife knew of the proceedings, had been contacted at the last known address, and was the person best placed to notify the court after her expulsion from the former address. Her own failure prevented delivery, so she could not rely on irregular service.
