Saffari v Amazon.com Inc

In this matter before Judge Street, the applicant, Saffari, sought to bring proceedings against Amazon.com Inc, Amazon Corporate LLC, and Amazon.com Services LLC (the first, second, and third respondents). The central dispute concerned the applicant's inability to effect service of the originating process on these respondents, who were not located within the jurisdiction of the court.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the proceedings against the first, second, and third respondents should be dismissed due to a failure to properly serve them. This involved considering the time elapsed since the commencement of proceedings and the absence of any demonstrated steps taken by the applicant to effect service within the relevant timeframe.

Judge Street reasoned that the applicant had not taken any proper steps to serve the originating process on the first, second, and third respondents. Furthermore, more than 12 months had passed since the proceedings were initiated. Applying the relevant procedural rules concerning service and the timely prosecution of proceedings, the court concluded that the application as against these respondents should be dismissed. Consequently, the court ordered that the application as against the first, second, and third respondents be dismissed.
