 (3) Within 24 hours after making the application, the prisoner must cause a copy of the application to be served on the person (if any) at whose request the subpoena was issued at the person's address for service.
 (4) For the purposes of calculating the 24 hour period, a day that is:
 (a) a Saturday; or
 (b) a Sunday; or
 (c) a public holiday or bank holiday in the place in which the application is to be served;
does not count.
 (5) Without limiting the ways in which, under the law of the place of issue, service may be effected, it may be effected by transmitting the copy to that address by fax.
 (6) The tribunal or court may determine the application without a hearing unless the prisoner, or the person (if any) at whose request the subpoena was issued, objects.
 (7) For the purposes of determining the application, the tribunal or court may hold a hearing by audio link or audiovisual link.

 (b) another State in which a person is participating in the hearing by audio link or audiovisual link;
