“Proof Service” is not generated by the recipient of a court process (document). It is a document emanating from the registry of the court. It sets out the date and time the document was served; who it was served on and place of service.
In the end, the ballif entrusted with the service of document swears on oath that information provided relating to the service are true. A Bailiff could be liable to perjury if the averments in the “Proof of Service” are untrue.
To ask the Clerk of Parliament to produce a “Proof of Service” is out of place. I think critical questions the clerk ought to answer out of candour to MPs is:
1. Who served him?
2. Whether he was served on his way to, attending at, or returning from, any proceedings of Parliament
