Giving documents to owner or occupier of land
267 Giving documents to owner or occupier of land
A document given to a person because the person is an owner or occupier of land may be addressed to the person by the description of “the owner” or “the occupier” of the relevant land, describing it, without further name or description.
If there are 2 or more owners or occupiers, a document is sufficiently given to all of them if it is given to one of them, and is addressed to that one with the addition of the words “and others” or “and another”, as the case requires.
If a document is to be given to a person because the person is an owner of land, the document may be given to the person by addressing it to the owner and giving it under section 266 to the occupier, if any, of the land.
If a document is to be given to a person because the person is an owner or occupier of land, the document may be given to the person by addressing it to the person and affixing it to a conspicuous part of the land.
Subsections (3) and (4) only apply if it is not reasonably practicable to give the document in any of the ways provided for in section 266 and this Act does not otherwise state how the document is to be given.
