Questione giuridica chiave
Whether service fiction under Art. 138(3)(a) CPC applies when registered court mail is returned because of a postal hold order without delivery notice.
Decisione estratta
The court noted that the postal practice can obstruct service in such situations; in this case, however, because the hold period was nearing expiry and alternative service preparations were still underway, no alternative service had yet to be required.
Motivazione estratta
The court emphasized the practical problems created by postal hold orders, but found that the short remaining hold period and the ongoing preparations justified waiting for the second delivery attempt.
