### sec.270 Operation of service provisions for complaints received before commencement
This section provides for the application of chapter 10, part 1 to a complaint received by the commissioner before the commencement of this section.
Despite section 269(2), nothing in chapter 10, part 1 requires a relevant party for the complaint to advise the commissioner, the tribunal or another relevant party for the complaint of the relevant party’s address for service.
However—
a relevant party for the complaint may at any time advise an address for service in the same way a relevant party for a complaint may advise a change of the relevant party’s address for service under section 263E; and
if a relevant party for the complaint has not advised an address for service, the relevant party’s address for service is taken to be the address mentioned for the party in section 263H(2).
In this section—
relevant party , for a complaint, means the complainant or respondent in relation to the complaint.
