Laying Down The Law On Twitter

Britain's High Court ordered the first ever 'writ to be served' on Twitter yesterday to an anonymous tweeter who'd been impersonating someone on the site. I had to look up "writ to be served" because I tend to stay out of legal trouble and impersonating others, but in layman's terms it has something to do with telling someone to knock something off that they're doing.
Does this mean I can get served just by checking my @replies?
I must be in the clear- all I'm seeing here are RT's of my fart jokes. Using Twitter as a means to serve people legal documents is as good of an idea as divorcing someone via a fax. Right, Phil Collins?
Must be a British thing.
