(1) A petition shall be served upon the respondent by delivering a notice of the presentation of the petition together with a copy thereof to him or her personally within 10 days after the presentation of the petition, but a judge may, on the application of the petitioner made by summons not later than 14 days after the petition is presented and supported by affidavit showing what has been done, on being satisfied that all reasonable effort has been made to effect personal service and cause the matter to come to the knowledge of the respondent, order that what has been done shall be considered sufficient service, subject to any conditions which he or she may think fit to impose.
(2) In case of evasion of service the posting of a notice in the office of the Registrar that the petition has been presented, stating the petitioner, the prayer and the nature of the proposed security, shall be deemed equivalent to personal service, if so ordered, by the judge.
(3) A respondent shall, within 10 days after service on him or her of notice of the petition, lodge with the Registrar and serve on the petitioner a statement of the facts required by rule 5 of these Rules to be stated by a petitioner in the petition, and he or she shall state the said facts in any summons taken out by him or her for the purpose of objecting to the security given by the petitioner or otherwise.
