    We think that would be an issue. Firstly, that’s possibly not 2 “clear months” and we recommend a minimum 4 days added to allow for service.

    Also, the notes on the prescribed form specifically seek a calendar date.

    That being said, section 21 itself doesn’t require a date nor has this particular point been tested on the new form.
