(1) In all proceedings
in which any notice, order or other document required or authorised to be
given to or served on a party to the proceedings under this Act has to be
proved, the party is deemed to have received notice to produce it, and, until
the contrary is shown, that document and its due giving or service may be
sufficiently proved by the production of what purports to be a copy, bearing
what purports to be a certificate under the hand of the person authorised to
issue the original that that copy is a true copy of the original and that the
original was served on the date specified in the certificate.
(2) The validity of
any notice, order or other document or of its giving or service is not
affected by any error, misdescription or irregularity which —
(a) is
not calculated to mislead; and
(b) in
fact does not mislead.
