Regulation 7 Service

A notice may be given by being delivered personally to the registered person, sent by post in a registered letter or by the recorded delivery service or by being transmitted electronically.

For the purposes of section 7 of the Interpretation Act 1978^f1 (which defines “service by post”) a letter to a registered person enclosing a notice given under this regulation shall be deemed to be properly addressed if it is addressed to him at the home address notified to the Chief Inspector upon the registered person’s application for registration or subsequently.

A notice is transmitted electronically for the purposes of paragraph (1) where the particulars contained in the notice are transmitted by electronic means from a computer system operated by the Chief Inspector to a computer system operated by the registered person at any number or address used for the purposes of electronic communications notified by that person to the Chief Inspector.
