US citizen, became necessary notification to appear before the civil court of California of his ex-wife - a citizen of the Russian Federation Mrs. A. as required by the rules of the Convention in 1965, at the start of the proceedings the plaintiff presented to the court documents showing proper notice of the defendant through the central competent authority in this case through the Russian consulate in California.
The judge, in spite of the written confirmation of the Russian Consulate acceptance of mail, however, each time on a different period (from 4 to 10 months) for two years, postponing the hearing "for proper notification by the competent authority of the Russian Federation."
