Key legal question
Whether the AI office’s refusal to renotify its 2009-07-03 decision constituted a denial of justice under Art. 56(2) LPGA.
Extracted holding
No denial of justice: although the initial service was irregular, the decision reached the intended recipient through counsel and the purpose of notification was achieved.
Extracted reasoning
An irregular notification is not necessarily null if it causes no prejudice; once the decision objectively reaches the person who had to receive it, the legal protection sought is realized and there is no duty to notify again.
