Section 835 Disposition versions

2016-01-01

835. In any Act or statutory instrument, summoning a person by a summons, subpoena or writ or by any other means is equivalent to calling a person to attend at court by a subpoena and a pleading cannot be invalidated for the sole reason that it is identified by any of these other terms rather than as a subpoena or, conversely, as a subpoena rather than by any of these other terms.

In addition, in any Act or statutory instrument, except where the law requires that service be made by bailiff, the service of a pleading is equivalent to its notification and, subject to the same exception, the notification of a pleading cannot be invalidated for the sole reason that it is referred to as service nor can the service of a pleading be invalidated for the sole reason that it is referred to as notification.
