Delivery and Filing of Pleadings and Other Papers
(a) Delivery: When required. Every order, pleading after the original summons and complaint, written
motion, written notice, appearance, demand, offer of judgment, or similar documents shall be
delivered to each of the parties unless otherwise ordered by the court.
(b) Same: How Made. Whenever under these rules delivery of documents is required to be made
upon a party represented by an attorney, delivery of the documents shall be made to the attorney
unless otherwise ordered by the court. Delivery of a document to a party shall be made by delivering it
to that party or by mailing it to the party's last known address or, if no address is known, by filing it
with the court. Delivery of a copy within this rule means: handing it to the attorney or to the party; or
leaving it at the office of the attorney or the party with a clerk or other person in charge of the office;
or, if there is no one in charge, leaving it at the party's usual place of abode with a resident of suitable
age and discretion; or mailing it to the last known address of that party. Delivery by mail of all
pleadings and papers after service of the original summons and complaint is complete upon mailing.
(c) Service or Delivery on Sunday. Civil process may be served on Sundays, provided that no person
may be served going to or from or attending a regularly or specially scheduled church or religious
service on Sunday.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
