Illustration for Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013

You need to follow rules when serving a notice for this Part. A notice must be in writing and signed by a designated officer or the Director. It must also be served in accordance with section 120. When a document says it is signed by a designated officer or the Director, you must accept it as genuine. This is true for all courts and proceedings under this Act. You can only disagree if you can prove it is not genuine. You must serve the notice correctly for it to be valid. This means following the rules set out in section 120. You should make sure you understand these rules.
