I1C1110Electronic delivery of notices etc

1

This section applies where—

a

section 109 authorises the giving of a notice or other document by its delivery to a particular person (“the recipient”), and

b

the notice or other document is transmitted to the recipient—

i

by means of an electronic communications network, or

ii

by other means but in a form that requires the use of apparatus by the recipient to render it intelligible.

2

The transmission has effect for the purposes of section 109 as a delivery of the notice or other document to the recipient, but only if the recipient has indicated to the person making the transmission (“the sender”) a willingness to receive the notice or other document in the form and manner used.

3

An indication to the sender for the purposes of subsection (2)—

a

must be given to the sender in such manner as the sender may require,

b

may be a general indication or an indication that is limited to notices or other documents of a particular description,

c

must state the address to be used,

d

must be accompanied by such other information as the sender requires for the making of the transmission, and

e

may be modified or withdrawn at any time by a notice given to the sender in such manner as the sender may require.

4

In this section “electronic communications network” has the same meaning as in the Communications Act 2003; and the reference to giving a notice is to be read in accordance with section 109.
