Questão jurídica principal
Whether the objection against the summary penalty order was timely despite a postal retention order and alleged lack of formal notice of proceedings.
Decisão extraída
The summary penalty order was deemed served on the seventh day after arrival at the post office; the objection filed on 6 April 2005 was therefore late.
Fundamentação extraída
The service fiction applies whenever the addressee must, in good faith, expect official mail. After the stand inspection and the written protocol, the complainant had to anticipate a criminal proceeding and could not rely on the retention order to postpone service.
