Australian couple loses home via Facebook

I read an article on Kare11.com called Australian couple loses home via Facebook. An attorney in Australia used Facebook to contact a couple with the paperwork claiming that they have lost their home. The supreme court in Australia approved this action because several other attempts at contacting the couple were made. "Australian courts have given permission in the past for people to be served via e-mail and text messages when it was not possible to serve them in person." McCormack said that he found the facebook page by using information that he had like birthdate and e-mail address. He also said that niether had any restrictions to keep them from looking at their page. "It's somewhat novel, however we do see it as a valid method of bringing the matter to the attention of the defendant," said McCormack, who represents a mortgage lender."
