Frequently Asked Questions

What Is A Process Agent?

Where a party you are contracting with requires the appointment of a process agent in respect of their English law agreements and they wish to enforce the terms of their agreement with you, we would accept service on your behalf (if appointed). The requirement for a process agent stems from the English Civil Litigation procedures. For a detailed explanation of what a process agent is, please see our guide below.

Why Do I Need A Process Agent?

It is not a legal requirement to have a process agent, but if you are contracting under English law, a counter party will often require you to appoint a process agent as part of the contract. This is to ensure that they can enforce the terms of the contract, if necessary.

Who Can Be A Process Agent In The UK?

A process agent is a professional role that needs to give confidence to both the Appointor and the counter party in a contract, in order to fulfil the requirements under the Civil Procedure Rules.

What Is The Difference Between A Process Server And A Process Agent?

A Process Agent receives service of process as agent for its clients, whereas a Process Server serves proceedings in the UK. Elemental does not act as a Process Server.

Can You Use The Appointment Letter Required Of My Bank?

We work with many different UK banks and have an agreed process with many of them to make the process as efficient and streamlined as possible. Please get in touch with our experts and we would be happy to advise you for your specific circumstances.

How Quickly Can The Service Be Set Up?

If you apply via the website, you can opt to pay by credit or debit card, and you’ll receive the formal appointment letter immediately.

Leave Plenty of Time

Although we can work very quickly and often manage to finalise an appointment within 24 hours, there is no reason to leave the appointment to the last minute. Remember that you will need to provide all the information in our appointment form and also make payment before the appointment can be finalised. The earlier this can be done, the easier everything will be.

04

Know The Duration of The Appointment

Process Agents are generally appointed for the duration of the contract because you don’t know when you are likely to need an agent. It is therefore vital that you understand how long the contract is likely to last for or how long you could potentially be sued for so that they are appointed for the entire time.

Have All The Relevant Details

To make sure that we can provide the level of service you expect, there is a certain amount of information we need from you including the details of the appointor, the instructing party and the contact for service (as applicable). We will also need details of the contracts we are being appointed in respect of, whether an appointment letter is required and how payment will take place. It is advisable to have all of this information to hand before completing the appointment form to save you time and hassle.

Update Any Contact Details

Although this isn’t part of the appointment process, it is too important to leave out. If we accept service of proceedings, we will need to be able to get in touch with you. Therefore it is critical that you update us with any changes to your contact details so there is no delay in getting in touch with you regarding our process agent service.
