Illustration for Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011

When you need to give someone a notice under this Act, you must do it in writing. You can give it to them in person, or send it by registered post to their workplace or home. You can also give it to their lawyer or someone else who is allowed to act for them. If you send a notice by post, it is considered given 7 days after you sent it, unless the person can prove they did not get it because of something that was not their fault. You can also send notices by electronic means like fax or email to the person or their lawyer. This includes sending it to someone who is allowed to act on their behalf.
