Notification

Action which involves informing a person about an action or a judgment. Appeal time-limits often start to run from the date on which a decision is notified. Ofpra decisions are notified by registered post with recorded delivery, and mention the appeal options and time-limits. The notification date is the date on which the asylum seeker signs the delivery slip, or the date on which the postal services return to deliver the letter if the asylum seeker was not available the first time.
