Sec.  26.15  Service.



    (a) Method of service. Pleadings, motions, and other documents 

required or permitted under these rules shall be served upon all 

parties. Whenever these rules require or permit service to be made upon 

a party represented by an attorney, the service shall be made upon the 

attorney unless service upon the party is ordered by the hearing 

officer. Service shall be made by delivering a copy to the person to be 

served or by mailing it to that person at the last known address. 

Delivery of a copy within this rule means: handing it to the person to 

be served; or leaving it at that person's office with a clerk or other 

person in charge; or, if there is no one in charge, leaving it in a 

conspicuous place in the office; or, if the office is closed or the 

person to be served has no office, leaving it at that person's residence 

of usual place of abode with some person of suitable age and discretion 

who resides there. Service by mail is complete upon deposit in a mail 

box or upon posting.

    (b) Proof of service. Proof of service shall not be required unless 

the fact of service is put in issue by appropriate motion or objection 

on the part of the person allegedly served. In these cases, service may 

be established by written receipt signed by or on behalf of the person 

to be served, or may be established prima facie by affidavit or 

certificate of service of mailing.
