Presumption of service: specified transmission methods create a statutory presumption that consumer notices are duly served. Notices under the Consumer Protection Act must be sent by registered post with acknowledgement due, speed post, approved courier services, or other transmission means (including fax). Receipt of an acknowledgement, other receipt, or a postal/courier endorsement of refusal permits the relevant forum to declare the notice duly served. A declaration of service may be made despite loss or non-receipt of acknowledgement if the notice was properly addressed, prepaid and sent by registered post. Notices are deemed sufficient when addressed to the place where the opposite party carries on business or the complainant actually and voluntarily resides.
