A notice required by this Law to be given to the Commissioner shall not be regarded as given until it is in fact received by the Commissioner.
A notice or other document which is required or authorized under this Law to be given to the Commissioner may be given by electronic or other means on the condition that the Commissioner is able to obtain or recreate the notice or document in intelligible form.
An order, notice, direction or other document required or authorized by or under this Law to be given to or served on any person other than the Commissioner may be given or served —
by delivering it to the person;
by leaving it at the person’s address;
by sending it by registered post to the person at the person’s address; or
by sending it to the person by electronic or other means to the person’s given facsimile number or electronic mail address or such other given address by which the order, notice, direction or document may be obtained or recreated in intelligible form.
Without limiting the generality of subsection (3), any such order, notice, direction or other document may be given to or served on a partnership, company incorporated outside the Islands or unincorporated association by being given to or served —
in any case, on a person who is, or purports, under whatever description, to act as, its secretary, clerk or other similar officer;
in the case of a partnership, on the person having the control or management of the partnership business;
in the case of a partnership or company incorporated outside the Islands, on the local representative referred to in section 6(2);
by being delivered to the registered or administrative office of a person referred to in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) if the person is a body corporate.
If the person to or on whom an order, notice, direction or other document referred to in subsection (3) is to be given or served has notified the Commissioner of an address within the Islands as the one at which the person or someone on the person’s behalf will accept documents of the same description as that order, notice, direction or other document, that address shall also be treated for the purposes of this section as the person’s address.
If the name or the address of an owner, lessee or occupier of premises on whom an order, notice, direction or other document referred to in subsection (3) is to be served cannot, after reasonable enquiry, be ascertained it may be served by —
addressing it to the person on whom it is to be served by the description of “owner”, “lessee” or “occupier” of the premises;
specifying the premises on it; and
delivering it to a responsible person resident or appearing to be resident on the premises or, if there is no person to whom it can be delivered, by affixing it, or a copy of it, to a conspicuous part of the premises.
Upon the service of a notice or other document under this section, the person carrying out the service shall, where required, provide an affidavit of service in accordance with Order 65 Rule 8 of the Grand Court Rules, 1995 as proof of service.
