152NZS Proof of service of document
A soon as practicable after a person serves a document in accordance with section 152NZQ(2), the person must make a certificate of service.
The certificate must —
state that, at the time and place stated in the certificate, the person making the certificate served the document in accordance with section 152NZQ(2); and
be signed by the person making the certificate (which may be by way of an electronic signature).
The certificate must state the full name of the person served.
A signed certificate of service that complies with this section may be tendered in evidence without calling the person who signed the certificate.
When a certificate of service is tendered under subsection (4), it is to be presumed, unless the contrary is proved —
that the signature is that of the person who made the certificate; and
that the information in the certificate is true.
Section 172(4) and (6)(b) do not apply in relation to the service of a document in accordance with section 152NZQ(2).
