Whether the opposition to the penal order was timely in view of deemed postal notification.
The opposition was untimely because the appellant did not rebut the presumption that the pickup notice had been duly deposited, so the penal order was deemed notified on expiry of the seven-day postal period.
The authority held that the burden was on the appellant to make it at least probable that a delivery error occurred. His general hypotheses about postal mistakes and mailbox access did not establish a concrete, case-specific higher risk of error.
