(a)it purports to relate to the accused and to be signed by the clerk of court having custody of the record containing the conviction; and
(b)a copy of it has been served on the accused not less than 14 days before the trial diet,
be sufficient evidence of the application of the conviction to the accused unless, within seven days of the date of service of the copy on him, he serves notice on the prosecutor that he denies that it applies to him.
(2)A copy of a conviction or extract conviction served under subsection (1) above shall be served on the accused in such manner as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, and a written execution purporting to be signed by the person who served the copy together with, where appropriate, the relevant post office receipt shall be sufficient evidence of service of the copy.
