Kolker v. Hurwitz
United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico
269 F.R.D. 119 (2010)

- Written by Sarah Holley, JD
Facts
Paul Kolker (plaintiff) purchased a plot of land in Palmas del Mar with the intention of building a vacation home. During a visit to Palmas del Mar, Kolker noticed the neighbors, Charles and Barbara Hurwitz (defendants), had developed certain portions of his plot without permission. In September 2009, Kolker brought suit alleging multiple causes of action against the Hurwitzes for the intrusion. Through the use of a process server, Kolker left the summons and complaint with the security guard at the entrance of the Hurwitzes’ apartment complex. The Hurwitzes sought to dismiss the complaint, arguing that Kolker had failed to render proper service of process.
