Royal Mail Strikes

Johnersh

Just a word of warning to all doing defences or with key dates,  that you'd be well advised to get any postal documents sent off well before strike days and,  where applicable send email copies to the claimant to mitigate risks. 

Strike days:

Fri 26/8/22
Wed 31/8/22
Thur 08/8/22
Fri 09/9/22

Thanks Johnersh.

Also useful for arguing that a NTK sent at the material time did not arrive by day 14.

Presumably the legislation doesn't allow for Force Majeure?

Nope. No excuses.

Pofa Sch 4 states (my emphasis)

sending it by post to a current address for service for the keeper so that it is delivered to that address within the relevant period.

So posting it on time is not enough.  It must arrive before time is up.   The strike is a problem for ppcs too.
