The court served the judgment by SMS.

The service of litigation documents can be notified by SMS, but there are exceptions.

With the consent of the addressee, the people's court may serve the notice of hearing by SMS; If it is delivered by SMS, the date when the SMS arrives at the addressee's specific system shall be the delivery date.

If it is delivered by the way mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the date when it reaches the addressee's specific system by fax or e-mail shall be the date of delivery.

The people's court has six ways of service.

(1) Direct delivery

Direct service, also known as service, refers to the way that the people's court sends a special person to directly serve the litigation documents to the addressee for signature. Direct delivery is the most basic mode of delivery. In other words, everything that can be served directly should be served directly to prevent the delay of litigation and ensure the smooth progress of litigation procedures. Under normal circumstances, if the addressee is a citizen, the citizen will directly sign for it. When a citizen is absent, it can be signed by an adult family member who lives with him. However, in divorce cases, if I am absent and there are no other adult family members at home, it is not appropriate to use the signature of the other party, because both parties have interests; If the addressee is a legal person, it shall be signed by its legal representative or the person in charge of the legal person responsible for signing; If the addressee is another organization, it shall be handed over to its principal responsible person or the person in charge of receiving the goods of the organization for signature; If the addressee has an agent ad litem, he may give it to him for signature; If the addressee entrusts an agent to the people's court, the agent shall sign for it.

However, the conciliation statement shall be delivered directly to me, and shall not be collected by others. Because once the mediation document is accepted, it will have legal effect; If the parties do not accept it, it shall be deemed that mediation is not established.

(2) Service by lien

Lien service means that when the addressee refuses to serve the litigation documents unreasonably, the addressee places the litigation documents at the addressee's residence according to law, which has the legal effect of service.

(3) Entrusted service

Entrusted service means that when the people's court in charge of hearing civil cases has difficulty in directly serving litigation documents, it entrusts other people's courts to serve them on its behalf according to law. Entrusted service and direct service have the same legal effect. The people's court responsible for hearing civil cases is called the entrusted court, and the court that accepts the service task is called the entrusted court. If the service is entrusted, a power of attorney shall be issued, and relevant litigation documents and service receipt shall be attached. The date when the recipient signs the receipt is the date of delivery.

(4) Delivery by post

Service by post means that the people's court sends the documents served to the addressee by registered mail through the post office. Practice shows that court mail service is usually a way of service when the addressee's residence is far from the court and it is difficult to deliver it directly.

(5) forwarding and service.

Service refers to the way that the people's court sends the litigation documents to the addressee's work unit for collection and then forwards them to the addressee. There are three kinds of forwarding services:

1。 If the addressee is a soldier, it shall be transferred through the political organ of the unit at or above the regiment level;

2。 If the person subjected to execution is put into prison, he shall be transferred through his prison or labor reform unit;

3。 If the addressee is undergoing reeducation through labor, it shall be transferred through his reeducation through labor unit. After receiving the litigation documents, the organs and units that transfer them on their behalf must immediately hand them over to the addressee for signature, and the date of delivery shall be the time when the addressee signs on the service receipt.

(6) service of public announcement

Service by announcement means that the court makes the litigation documents public by posting announcements and publishing newspapers. After a certain period of time, it is regarded as a way of service in law.
