“Exceptions to the standard rules for sending notices and documents”

You should know that sections 386A to 387A are the default rules for sending notices and other documents. These rules apply unless there are other parts of this Act or its regulations that say something different. Sometimes, there might be specific situations or circumstances where the Act or regulations give different instructions on how to serve or give notices and documents. In those cases, you should follow those specific instructions instead of the default rules.
