(1) Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), the applicant must serve a copy of the application notice on—
(a) anyone who is named as a respondent in the application notice (if not otherwise a party to the proceedings);
(b) every party to the proceedings; and

as soon as practicable and in any event within 21 days of the date on which it was issued.
(2) The application notice must be accompanied by a copy of the evidence filed in support.
(3) The applicant must file a certificate of service within 7 days beginning with the date on which the documents were served.
(4) This rule does not require a copy of evidence to be served on a person upon whom it has already been served, but the applicant must in such a case give to that person notice of the evidence upon which he intends to rely.
(5) An application may be made without serving a copy of the application notice if this is permitted by—
(a) a rule;
(b) a practice direction; or
