I don;t understand your premise that there was no service and thus no case. If this Orly person is appealing the case then a decision has been made. Courts don’t make decisions on cases that do not exist. It seems in the current matter that a Judge made a written decision and listed reasons. If the service was deficient, then it would have been dismissed without comment. I doubt the court opened the appeal so “proper service” could be determined.
I don’t think this Orly has a chance in hell. She seems ill prepared and doesn’t know how to file basic paperwork. I doubt her actual appeal will be arguing service if the case never started.
