After several attenmpts, they could quite simply ask the respondent to post the document and provide proof of posting and/or delivery.
Several attempts at what? The requirement is to fill it in ONCE, post it back ONCE. In doing so you have complied and it is deemed delivered. If they can't look after their mail it is not my problem.0 -

*here we go again*
Before you say odd notion again i had left the links to that site (wikipedia) to explain the differences in UK law and common and Statute(Status law which is the same)
I suggest you read it before replying
Thank you
There is no such thing as "status law." The wikipedia page you link to, explains what "status" means in law, not something called "status law." :wall:The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -

If it hasn't arrived at the ONS, the assumption will be that it hasn't been completed. If you refuse to complete it, you risk getting fined.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -
You have spent so long squabbling on here, then deleting your posts, you could have completed the form a dozen times over.0

Guilty but to be fair i was up at certain daft hours of the morning writing them previous posts but getting rants from everything regarding the way i was trying to make a point. Hence the stance on removing the postsSeem's everyone here became a English teacher overnight,Still i do not care it is my choice not to be on it glad to pay the 1,000 pound means 10 more years of knowing my details are secure since most Goverments lose data all the time. plus no private company gets there grubby little mitts on were i work (which i dont know being a millionare now owning my own businesses)"MSE Money saving challenges..8/12/13 3,500 saved so far :j" p.s if i been helpfully please leave me a thank you but seek official advice at all times from a pro0 -

Did you actually read the intepretaions act which I posted for you?
Once again:
Where an Act authorises or requires any document to be served by post (whether the expression "serve" or the expression" give " or " send " or any other expression is used) then, unless the contrary intention appears, the service is deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and posting a letter containing the document and, unless the contrary is proved, to have been effected at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post."
They can make as many assumptions as they wish, however they need to PROVE that you did not complete it, had no intention of completing it and did not in fact post it. They have no basis to require you to do it again. This is exactly the same piece of legislation which the DVLA has been stung with regarding SORN.0 -
Indeed!
Though to be fair I don't think the reasons for non completion were ever about time
What are the reasons then? Because, for life of me, I can't see any.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -
why are you expending so much effort on this topic, its peoples choices whether they want to fill it in or not and take the risk of the fine surely?The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!
If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!
