We are moving from registered post to e-mail in all legislation but the consequences for somebody who does not read the e-mail should be considered. I recognise that something would have happened prior to that but the consequences for the fund could be drastic. It is not a case of changing from post to e-mail or forms being submitted electronically instead of in writing. Registered post offers proof that an individual has received the letter but there is no means of proving that an individual received an e-mail. I am flagging this issue in light of the drastic consequences of being struck off the register.
