Echendu v William Morrison Supermarkets Plc (EAT, 20 June 2008)
Time for the service of an application under r 3(10) of the Employment Appeal Tribunal Rules 1993 (SI 1993/2854) runs from when the notification under r 3(7) is sent by the tribunal, not from when it is received by the party. Where the envelope is available, the postmark will constitute authoritative proof of the date of sending. In the absence of the postmarked envelope, an ordinarily prudent person will proceed on the assumption that the letter was sent on the date that it bears.
