Regulation 41 Service of notices
Any notice required by virtue of these Regulations to be given to any person by the Secretary of State may be given by her—
by delivering it to him or by leaving it at his proper address or by sending it by post to him at that address;
if the person is a body corporate other than a limited liability partnership, by giving it in accordance with paragraph (a) on the secretary of the body;
if the person is a limited liability partnership, by giving it in accordance with paragraph (a) on a member of the partnership; or
if the person is a partnership, by giving it in accordance with paragraph (a) on a partner or a person having control of the management of the partnership business.
For the purposes of this regulation and section 7 of the Interpretation Act 1978f1 (service of documents by post) in its application to this regulation, the proper address of any person to whom a notice is to be given shall be his last known address, except that—
in the case of a body corporate (other than a limited liability partnership) or its secretary, it shall be the address of the registered or principal office of the body;
in the case of a limited liability partnership or a member of the partnership, it shall be the address of the registered or principal office of the partnership; and
in the case of a partnership or a partner or a person having the control or management of a partnership business, it shall be the address of the principal office of the partnership.
Paragraph (4) applies if a person to be given a notice under these Regulations by the Secretary of State has specified to her an address within the United Kingdom other than his proper address (as determined under paragraph (2)) as the one at which he or someone on his behalf will accept notices of that description.
In relation to that notice, that address shall be treated as his proper address for the purposes of this regulation and section 7 of the Interpretation Act 1978 in its application to this regulation, instead of that determined under paragraph (2).
