You could also call this:

"How to give notice to people, except the Registrar"

Illustration for Land Transfer Act 2017

You can give notice to someone in several ways. You can deliver it to them, or to their home or work address. You can also post it, fax it, or email it to them if they have given you their contact details for this purpose. You can send a notice to someone's electronic workspace facility if that is where the related instrument was created. There may be other ways to give notice that are specified in the rules. If a notice is for a company, section 388 of the Companies Act 1993 applies. This means you follow the rules in that section when giving notice to a company. When giving notice, you can send it to the person's agent if they have one. You should follow the specific rules for giving notice if there are any.
