Drone Services USA Inc. (DSUS)

[janice shell]

Collette applied to become DSUS's receiver some time ago in Michigan. Presumably that's allowed, though it could be asked whether it should be. DSUS is, after all, a Nevada company.

She was, of course, supposed to serve the company and whoever runs the company. She says she did so by publication in both Michigan and Nevada. But in real life, nobody knows if they've been served by a tiny classified ad in a local paper. So usually the plaintiff needs permission from a judge to do that. I don't know whether permission was requested and granted in this case. But that's how Collette performed service.

Tang was unaware of the publication of the action. He could, of course, have easily been located. However, it seems Collette began her own action a long time ago, and the judge in Michigan signed an order appointing her receiver in June. She for some reason did not file to reinstate the company in Nevada; she only filed a new annual list showing herself as sole officer and director in mid-September. Tang objected, went to the NVSOS, and had her name replaced with his own. As you can see, DSUS's corporate status was reinstated by Tang on 17 September. Tang and Collette both seem to have been unaware of the other until the following days.

What a mess...
