3. Despite the notice referred to in sub-rule 16(1) above, a person who, before receiving a notice in terms of sub-rule 16(1), had sent a notice to or effected service on a Party somewhere other than at the address specified in sub-rule 16(1) will be deemed to have validly served that notice or document, unless the Tribunal orders otherwise.
