1
A citation or document to which section 5 applies may, instead of being effected or served by post, be effected against or served on a person outside the United Kingdom in accordance with arrangements made by the Lord Advocate.
2
But where the person is in a participating country, the citation may be effected or document served in accordance with those arrangements only if one of the following conditions is met.
3
The conditions are—
a
that the correct address of the person is unknown,
b
that it has not been possible to effect the citation or serve the document by post,
c
that there are good reasons for thinking that citation or (as the case may be) service by post will not be effective or is inappropriate.
