RAIL SAFETY ACT 1993 - SECT 99

99 Service of documents

(1) A document that is authorised or required under this Act to be served on any person may be served:

(a) personally or by post, or

(b) by leaving it with a person apparently of or above the age of 16 years at, or by posting it to, the person’s place of business or, in the case of a corporation, the registered office of the corporation.

(2) If a person on whom a document is authorised or required under this Act to be served is absent from the State or cannot, after diligent inquiry, be found, and that person’s place of residence or business cannot, after diligent inquiry, be ascertained, the document may be served by affixing it on some conspicuous part of the land on which the railway owned or operated by the person is located.

(3) If, under this Act, a document is authorised or required to be served on the holder of an accreditation and there is more than one such holder, service on any one such holder of the document, together with copies of the document addressed to the other holders, is taken to be service on all of the holders.

(4) If a person has more than one place of business, service may be effected under this section at any of those places.

(5) Nothing in this section prevents service of a document from being effected by facsimile transmission or other electronic means, or by the use of the facilities of a document exchange, but the burden of establishing that service has been so effected lies on the person asserting that fact.
