19 How personal service is effected

(1) Personal service of a document is effected—

(a) by leaving a copy of the document—

(i) with the person to be served; or

(ii) if the person does not accept the copy, by putting the copy down in the person's presence and telling the person the nature of the document;

(b) by delivering a copy of the document to the place of residence of the person to be served—

(i) to a person apparently above the age of 16 years who resides at that place; or

(ii) if the place of residence is a hotel, a boarding house or similar establishment, to a person apparently above the age of 16 years who is apparently in charge of the establishment or engaged in the office of the establishment; or

(c) if the person to be served conducts a business, by delivering a copy of the document to the place of business of the person to be served to a person apparently above the age of 16 years who is apparently in charge of that business or is employed in the office of that business.

(2) To effect personal service it is not necessary to produce the original document at the time of service.
