What does procedural and personal service mean?

Procedural service refers to the method by which legal documents, such as summons or complaints, are delivered to a party involved in a legal proceeding, ensuring that due process is upheld. Personal service specifically means delivering these documents directly to the individual, providing them with actual notice of the legal action being taken against them. Both types of service are essential for ensuring that a court's jurisdiction is established and that individuals have the opportunity to respond to legal claims.
