I move amendment No. 15:

In page 26, line 1, to delete "in a prepaid registered letter".

The amendment sets out in section 21 the manner in which notices under the Bill are to be served. In section 1(c), there is reference to a notice being sent by registered post. This amendment deletes the reference to registered post. The effect of this is that the Courts Service may send notices by ordinary post or by registered post as it sees fit. This will reduce costs. Where a notice is issued by ordinary post, section 25 of the Interpretation Act 2005 applies to it.
