Electronic lodgment of approved forms

If a person gives the Regulator an approved form in a way that is required or permitted as mentioned in paragraph 11A(3)(b):
the form is taken to constitute a written notice; and

The person’s electronic signature is a unique identification, in an electronic form, that is approved by the Regulator for use by the person.

the person gives the Regulator an approved form in a way that is required or permitted as mentioned in paragraph 11A(3)(b); and
either:
the form purports to be given by another person; or
the form purports to be given on behalf of another person, and that other person has not consented to the giving of the form.
