Subject to paragraph (4), a notice or document may be served on or given to a person (which includes a member of an unincorporated association) by—
delivering it to that person in person;
leaving it at that person’s proper address;
sending it by post or electronic means to that person’s proper address; or

A notice or document may be served on a person by sending it to the email address provided under paragraph 2, 3(a)(ii) or (b) or 4 of Schedule 4 to the 2013 Order.
Except where paragraph (4) applies, if a person to be served with or given a document has specified an address in the United Kingdom (other than that person’s proper address) at which that person or someone on that person’s behalf will accept documents of that description, that address must instead be treated as that person’s proper address.
For the purposes of paragraph (2), the principal office of a company registered outside the United Kingdom or of a partnership established outside the United Kingdom is its principal office in the United Kingdom.
