This is a standard provision found in legislation where provision is made for a notification or other document to be served on or given to a person. A recent example of such a provision can be found in section 9 of the Charities Act 2009. An example of where such a notification is required under this Bill may be found in section 15(2), under which the Courts Service must notify the receiver in writing that a person has failed to pay a fine by the due date. As I noted, this should be a standard provision in the Bill.
