Held: Words such as ‘deliver’ or ‘present’ ordinarily require that the transfer shall be completed. Words like ‘send’ or ‘despatch’ do not. The argument on the word ‘referred’, suggest that its meaning is imprecise, and that it is much coloured, as meaning either ‘send’ or ‘present,’ according to the context. The court sought assistance from the regulations underlying the section. In this context, it meant ‘sent’ and a matter had bee referred once the application was sent and whether or not it was received.
