The notice of the Commencement of the administrative proceeding was sent also by e-mail. Yet, the e-mail notices sent to <gregoryburnett757@mailstorm.live> and to <postmaster@virbacsales.com> but the Centre never received any proof of delivery or notification of undelivery. No further e-mail addresses could be found on the disputed site.<\/p>\n

The Respondent never accessed the online platform.<\/p>\n
