effective service of the written notice
s.196(3); 'any notice required or authorised by this Act...shall be sufficiently served if it is left at the las-known place of abode or business of the lessee, lessor, mortgagee, mortgagor or other person to be served or is affixed or left for him on the land/house/building compromised in the lease or mortgage...'

:!: only the sending and arrival of the notice matters; the receiver does NOT have to read the notice
'provided it can be established that, irrespective of the identity of the person who delivered the notice to a particular address, it was delivered to that address, then the notice has been validly served...provided that it is the addressee's last-known abode or place of business'
