A notice of intended prosecution was sent to the defendant in connection with an allegation of driving without due care and attention. When the matter came before the court, the defendant argued that the prosecution had failed to meet the requirements of section 241. Following a car acident the defendant had been unconscious in hospital. Attempts to serve him with papers at hospital had failed, and a notice was sent by registered letter to his home. His wife received it, but she did not give it to him despite his having recovered sufficiently to have read it. The prosecutor appealed against a finding that he had not been served.
Held: The appeal succeeded. There had been good service since the wife was deemed to be authorised for this purpose.
