What this form is for

• • Use this when you need written proof that you handed a formal notice to another party in a court case.
• • It is used specifically for 'Notice Parties'—people or entities officially notified about proceedings.
• • Do not use it if you are just sending a letter; you must prove service occurred.
• • Use this after serving documents related to an action before the Irish courts.
