Service of an application to set aside a statutory demand may be validly effected by facsimile transmission to the creditor's solicitors under UCPR r 112(1)(f)(ii) in Queensland, even where the statutory demand's address for service does not include a facsimile number. The rule requires only that the solicitor in fact has a fax machine. Section 109X of the Corporations Act does not prescribe the exclusive modes of service and does not prevent service by other authorised modes under state procedural rules.
