Well if you would have showed up in court and fought the eviction, on the grounds you were never given notice to pay. But you were served, yes serving a relation at the address is allowed.

Not after the court but in court was where you needed to object.

I doubt if the landlord could have gotten a court order unless they had followed form. But if they didn't you can argue that when you answer the court summons. You can also argue improper service, but since you got the summons its probably moot.

Three types of service - personal, nail and mail or substitute (on a responsible adult). Appears a responsible adult was served and, anyway, he handed it to you so, yes, it's good service.

Very difficult to evict someone - are you sure you never got a 20 day notice? Or perhaps because of the circumstances the 20 day notice was waived or not required?

Sounds like it's too late now to set this aside - what are the grounds for the eviction? Did you see this coming?
