Section 81A

Despite anything in the Criminal Procedure Code 2010, an attachment of earnings order made by a court may be served on the person to whom the order is directed by prepaid registered post at the last known address of his or her place of residence or business (including the registered address of his or her place of business).

Any attachment of earnings order sent by prepaid registered post to any person in accordance with subsection (1) is deemed to be duly served on the person to whom the order is directed at the time when the order would in the ordinary course of post be delivered.

In proving service by prepaid registered post, it is sufficient to prove that the cover containing the attachment of earnings order was properly addressed, stamped and posted by prepaid registered post.
