24      Service of notices etc.

       (1)    This section applies to a notice or other document that is required or permitted to be served on an individual under this instrument (whether the word 'give', 'notify', 'send', 'tell' or another word is used).

       (2)    The document may be served on an individual:

(a)    by giving it to the individual; or

(b)    by sending it by prepaid post, addressed to the individual, to an address shown in the University's records as an address of the individual (including, for example, any semester, work or permanent home address); or

(c)    by emailing it to:

(i)    if the individual has an email address provided by the University—that email address; or

(ii)    in any case—an email address shown in the University's records as an email address of the individual (including, for example, any personal or work email address).

       (3)    A document served by post on an individual under subsection (2)(b) is taken to have been served on the day it would have been delivered in the ordinary course of post.

       (4)    A document served by email on an individual under subsection (2)(c) is taken to have been served on the day it would been received in the ordinary course of email transmission.

       (5)    This section does not affect the operation of any other University legislation or any other law (including an ACT law applied by this instrument) that authorises or requires service of a document otherwise than as provided under this section.
[Note: This section does not apply, for example, to the service of infringement notices. The General Act, section 24(3) (Infringement notices), as applied by this instrument, provides that an infringement notice must be served in the way prescribed by regulation (under that Act). The Offences Regulation, section 12 (Infringement notices—service if offender known—Act, s 24 (2)) and section 12A (Infringement notices—service if offender unknown—Act, s 24 (2)) prescribe how an infringement notice may be served.]
