Where facsimile transmission is used—

for the making of a request by the ICC or the transmission of any supporting documents, or
b
for the transmission of any document in consequence of such a request,
this Part applies as if the documents so sent were the originals of the documents so transmitted.
Any such document shall be receivable or, in Scotland, admissible in evidence accordingly.
