Valid service at address on record defeats challenge based on non-service of hearing notice.

Notice sent to the address on record was treated as valid service where the alleged factory closure was never intimated to the Tribunal, so the registry had no basis to use a different address. The applicant could not rely on its own omission to claim that the matter was decided without hearing. On that basis, the request to set aside the order for want of notice and hearing was rejected, and the application was dismissed.
