A Form 1 notice served on a person is valid even though particulars were reproduced by carbon paper because the document actually served is the operative original between the parties; and service of a s.3(1) notice is not a prerequisite to service or validity of a s.3(3) notice under the Fixed Penalty Ordinance. The magistrate was therefore wrong to hold the Form 1 invalid and to treat s.3(1) as a condition precedent, though the acquittal was left undisturbed in the exercise of discretion.
