| The duties of process servers are vital to the machinery of the justice system.[15] Utmost care is required in the performance of their functions.[16] They must see to it that summonses, writs and other court processes are duly and expeditiously served upon the parties,[17] consistent with the constitutional mandate of speedy and fair dispensation of justice.[18] To be sure, the wheels of justice will not run without the cooperation of court personnel composed of, among others, process servers. Thus, there is no room for any lackadaisical attitude that would show inefficiency and incompetence. | |||||
