Commentary on Sections

Part 4 - Forestry

Section 43 – Service of documents

254.Section 43 inserts a new subsection (6) into section 30 of the Forestry Act 1967 to provide that any references in Part 2 of that Act to the giving of a notice or document by NRW are to be treated as if they were references to the serving of a notice or document. This ensures that the criteria in section 30 of the Forestry Act 1967 (about when notices or documents are deemed to have been served) apply consistently to all notices and documents given by NRW under Part 2 of the Forestry Act 1967.
