DWI
Judgment Void Without Service
Actual notice is no substitute for service of process “and a judgment entered against a party without proper service on that party is void for lack of jurisdiction.” Where the record does not show service on the Director of Revenue, circuit court’s judgment against the Director is void, so the Court of Appeals reverses the judgment and remands for further proceedings.
