Tugendhat J set out the reasons why the existence of a jurisdiction to provide for service out of the jurisdiction, was previously considered doubtful but rightly considered that Cecil v Bayat has now settled the matter, because CPR 6.37(5)(b)(i) which is in Section IV of Part 6 dealing with service out of the jurisdiction provides: ‘(5) Where the court gives permission to serve a claim out of the jurisdiction . . (b) it may . . (i) give directions about the method of service.’
