196: Application of section 197

You could also call this:

"When the rules for giving notices in Section 197 don't apply"

Section 197 is about serving notices, but it doesn't apply in two situations. First, it doesn't apply when you're giving notices or documents as part of a court case. Second, it doesn't apply when you're giving notices or documents in a way that's already described somewhere else in this law. This means there are special rules for these two cases that are different from what Section 197 says.
