Service of order
21 Service of order
If a public safety order is made by a commissioned officer, the commissioned officer must ensure a copy of the order is served by personal service on each person to whom the order relates.
If the commissioned officer reasonably suspects a person to whom the order applies is a person under 18 years or has impaired intellectual functioning, the commissioned officer must, if practicable, ensure the order is also served by personal service on a parent or guardian of the person.
A public safety order is not binding on a person to whom the order relates unless the order is served under this section.
If a public safety order is served on a person under this section, the order is binding on the person whether or not any other person to whom the order relates has been served.
Failure to comply with subsection (2) does not prevent an order from becoming binding when the order is served on a person.
