According to an explainer of civil court procedures on the judiciary's website, after the originating claim is accepted at the High Court, the issued writ must be served on Lee as soon as possible, even if he's overseas, through means and methods as provided by the Rules of Court.
If Lee does not respond within a stipulated timeframe, the claimants can apply for the courts to enter a default judgment, meaning they would be successful in their claims by default.
