                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

CIVIL INVESTIGATIVE DEMANDS; SERVICE AND JURISDICTION (§ 8.01-216.13)

Any civil investigative demand issued under this article may be served by an
investigator, or by any person authorized to serve process on individuals in the
Commonwealth.
		Any such demand or any petition filed under this article may be served upon
any person who is not found within Virginia in such manner as the Rules of the
Supreme Court of Virginia or the Code of Virginia prescribe for service of
process outside Virginia. To the extent that the courts of this Commonwealth can
assert jurisdiction over any such person consistent with due process, the courts
of this Commonwealth shall have the same jurisdiction to take any action
respecting compliance with the provisions of this article by any such person
that the court would have if such person were personally within the jurisdiction
of the court.
		Service of any civil investigative demand issued under this article or of any
petition filed under this article may be made upon a partnership, corporation,
association, or other legal entity by (i) delivering an executed copy of such
demand or petition to any partner, executive officer, managing agent, or general
agent of the partnership, corporation, association, or entity, or to any agent
authorized by appointment or by law to receive service of process on behalf of
such partnership, corporation, association, or entity; (ii) delivering an
executed copy of such demand or petition to the principal office or place of
business of the partnership, corporation, association, or entity; or (iii)
depositing an executed copy of such demand or petition in the United States mail
by registered or certified mail, with a return receipt requested, addressed to
such partnership, corporation, association, or entity at its principal office or
place of business.
		Service of any such demand or petition may be made upon any natural person by
(i) delivering an executed copy of such demand or petition to the person, or
(ii) depositing an executed copy of such demand or petition in the United States
mail by registered or certified mail, with a return receipt requested, addressed
to the person at the person&#8217;s residence or principal office or place of
business.
		A verified return by the individual serving any civil investigative demand
issued under this article or any petition filed under this article setting forth
the manner of such service shall be proof of service. In the case of service by
registered or certified mail, such return shall be accompanied by the return
post office receipt of delivery of such demand.
