Article 13 Sending and delivery of documents

(1)

Any document to be provided to the Tribunal under these Rules, a practice direction or a direction must be—

(a)

sent by pre-paid post or document exchange, or delivered by hand, to the address specified for the proceedings; or

(b)

sent or delivered by such other method as the Tribunal may permit or direct.

(2)

Subject to paragraph (3), if a party or representative provides a fax number, email address or other details for the electronic transmission of documents to them, that party or representative must accept delivery of documents by that method.

(3)

If a party informs the Tribunal and all other parties that a particular form of communication (other than pre-paid post or delivery by hand) should not be used to provide documents to that party, that form of communication must not be so used.

(4)

If the Tribunal or a party sends a document to a party or the Tribunal by email or any other electronic means of communication, the recipient may request that the sender provide a hard copy of the document to the recipient. The recipient must make such a request as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the document electronically.

(5)

The Tribunal and each party may assume that the address provided by a party or its representative is and remains the address to which documents should be sent or delivered until receiving written notification to the contrary.
