Concerns over reliable delivery of registered mail by PostNL despite reliability issues

  • Recipient informed BV X in a letter dated March 5, 2019 that an amount of €1,678.66 was offset against outstanding tax liabilities and costs
  • BV X objected to the offset but was declared inadmissible by the recipient
  • Court rulings upheld the decision against BV X
  • BV X failed to pay the required court fees on time, leading to dismissal of their appeal
  • Despite claims of not receiving the fee notification, BV X’s appeal was rejected
  • BV X appealed to the Supreme Court, questioning the reliability of PostNL’s track & trace data for registered mail delivery
  • The Attorney General expressed concerns over the reliability of PostNL’s delivery of registered mail, citing various weaknesses in the system
  • The Attorney General believes that the current burden of proof and weak evidence based on track & trace data provide sufficient protection for serious legal seekers
  • The Supreme Court’s counter-evidence rule may be difficult to apply in this case
