The press is reporting that a Federal Magistrate has allowed a child support application to be served on a “Mr Howard” by Facebook.
Following service, “Mr Howard” shut down his Facebook and MySpace accounts.
See the Age, Sydney Morning Herald.
The reports say the judgment was published last month; but I haven’t found a link to it yet.
