This corrigendum corrects a formatting error in Annex I, Form K, point 1.3 of Regulation (EU) 2020/1784. The original text stated a factual declaration about informing the addressee of their right to refuse service of untranslated documents. The corrected version transforms this into a checkbox format requiring the serving party to explicitly indicate whether the addressee was informed in writing of their refusal rights under Article 12(2). The correction ensures legal clarity and standardization in the certificate of service used across EU Member States for cross-border civil and commercial proceedings.
