RECORDED DELIVERY SERVICE ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1963 - SECT 1

1.(1) Any enactment which requires or authorises a document or other thing to
be sent by registered post (whether or not it makes any other provision in
relation thereto) shall have effect as if it required or, as the case may be,
authorised that thing to be sent by registered post or the recorded delivery
service; and any enactment which makes any other provision in relation to the
sending of a document or other thing by registered post or to a thing so sent
shall have effect as if it made the like provision in relation to the sending
of that thing by the recorded delivery service or, as the case may be, to a
thing sent by that service.

(2) The Schedule shall have effect for the purpose of making consequential
adaptations of the enactments therein mentioned.

(3) The Governor may by Order in Council make such amendments of any enactment
contained in a local or private Act (being an enactment to which this section
applies) as appear to him to be necessary or expedient in consequence of
sub-section (1).

(4) The Governor shall not be recommended to make an Order in Council under
sub-section (3) until a draft thereof has been subject to negative resolution.

(5) This section shall not be construed as authorising the sending by the
recorded delivery service of anything which under the Post Office Act 1953 or
any instrument thereunder is not allowed to be sent by that service.
