The Munich Local Division (judge-rapporteur Pichlmaier) granted in part an application under R. 275(2) RoP to treat steps already undertaken by the claimant as valid alternative service on four foreign Belkin defendants. The panel held that R. 275(2) RoP does not require prior failure of service under R. 270–274 RoP. Where a director of a company has personally received the statement of claim that is also directed against that company, service on the director counts as service on the company through the legal representation relationship. A mere email to a corporate officer who is not a designated 'person authorised to accept service' is not sufficient. Subsidiary/affiliate relationships alone do not warrant imputing knowledge of the claim. The claimant's own courier, postal and registered-agent deliveries on 21–23 August 2023 were recognised as valid alternative service under R. 275(2) RoP, producing staggered defence deadlines. The panel reserved the right to sever the proceedings to manage those differing deadlines.
