Part 3 of the Traffic Regulations 1999, may be served – not later than 90 days after the date of the alleged offence; or (b) in any other case – not later than 60 days after the date of the alleged offence, and not earlier than one month before the date shown on the summons as the date for the hearing of the charge to which that summons relates. (4) A summons issued under section 57(2) to a corporation may be served on the corporation: (a) by delivering 2 copies of the summons to a director, secretary, or other responsible officer of the corporation; or (b) by posting by registered post service, as provided under the Australian Postal Corporation Act 1989 of the Commonwealth, 2 copies of the summons to the principal place of business of the corporation in the Territory. (5) In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the address appearing on the summons shall be deemed to be the defendant's last-known place of abode or business. (6) Where a summons has not been served personally, the Court may, if it is of the opinion that there is a reasonable probability that the summons has not come to the notice of the defendant, refuse to adjudicate upon the complaint and direct that a fresh summons be issued and served personally on the defendant.
