ter-se-ão por realizadas shall be considered to have been made Explanation: The difference, it's a nuance, but if one party is required to NOTIFY someone else within a certain time frame, it might be hard to prove that they did MAKE that notification on time - so the date of receipt will be used. If you must notify someone by 5:00 p.m. on February 16, but you don't do it until 4:55 P.M., you may think you've complied, but the time of receipt is what will dictate, and that could be later than 5:00 p.m. depending on the means of delivery. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2006-02-16 17:44:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And, in this case, even if you mail your registered letter within the deadline - and your having done so is proven by the post office's stamp on the little coupon, the notificaiton won't be considered as having been made until the recipient receives the letter - which doesn't sound "fair," perhaps, but they needed to establish some sort of criterion. |
