14. Any document for the amendment of which no special provision is made by the Act may be amended, and any irregularity in procedure, which, in the opinion of the Registrar, may be obviated without detriment to the interests of any person, may be corrected if, and on such terms as, the Registrar thinks fit. An application to amend shall be accompanied by the prescribed fee.

15. Any notice of address for service or appointment of agent left at or sent to the Copyright Office shall be binding on the person giving the notice until notice of revocation, or of the appointment of some other address for service, or of some other agent, has been furnished by him to the Registrar.

16. (1) An application to the Minister under Section 30 of the Act shall be in accordance with Form H, and shall be lodged by being left at the Copyright Office under cover of a Request to Transmit addressed to the Registrar, and accompanied by the prescribed fee.
