(i)by means of an electronic communications network, or
(ii)by other means but in a form that nevertheless requires the use of apparatus by the recipient to render it intelligible.
(2) The transmission has effect for the purposes of this Order as a delivery of the notification or other document to the recipient, but only if the requirements imposed by or under this Article are complied with.
(3) Where the recipient is a relevant authority—
(a)it must have indicated its willingness to receive the notification or other document in a manner mentioned in paragraph (1)(b),
(b)the transmission must be made in such manner, and satisfy such other conditions, as it may require, and

(7) An indication, requirement or determination given, imposed or made by a relevant authority for the purposes of this Article is to be given, imposed or made by being published in such manner as it considers appropriate for bringing it to the attention of the persons who, in its opinion, are likely to be affected by it.
(8) Where both the recipient and the person making the transmission are relevant authorities—
(a)paragraphs (3) and (4) do not apply, and
(b)the recipient must have indicated to the person making the transmission the recipient's willingness to receive notifications or documents transmitted in the form and manner used.

(10) In this Article, “relevant authority” means the Regulator, the Board or the Department.
