sets out the requirements for ordinary service and is the default method of serving a document when personal service is not required. It is designed to provide for the many documents in a proceeding which do not need strict requirements for personal service. The strict requirements for written notice required for personal service on a legal practitioner are not required for ordinary service. Instead, the only requirement is that the legal practitioner acts for the accused in respect of the criminal proceeding to which the document relates. Accordingly, this clause provides that ordinary service of a document is effected by ordinary post on the person (at a residential or business address) or their legal practitioner or in any other way agreed. As the note to the clause indicates, the Electronic Transactions (Victoria) Act 2000 applies to allow electronic service.
