An action is filed in the Regional Trial Court by a private plaintiff against a private individual who is a resident of a subdivision. After reasonable diligence, personal service cannot be effected at the defendant's residence or at his place of business. Substituted service is attempted by delivering the summons to the defendant's adult sister who lives with him at 12 Maple Court, and by leaving a copy with the building guard and by posting a copy on the front door of the dwelling. The defendant does not appear. Which of the following statements most accurately reflects the controlling doctrine on substituted service and its application to the facts?

Choose the Best Answer

Service on the sister is valid but the guard's and posting acts constitute illegal service. Substituted service on the sister is valid, but the posting on the door alone suffices for service. Substituted service on the sister is valid; the acts of leaving with the guard and posting on the door do not invalidate service; the matter is within the court's jurisdiction and the plaintiff should secure proof of service to perfect substituted service. Even with substituted service valid, the defendant's non-appearance does not cure the lack of jurisdiction.
