The Australians have this set up much better:

  [...] the Commissioner may [...]:

  (b)  treat a particular event that did not actually happen as having happened and, if appropriate, treat the event as:

    (i)  having happened at a particular time; and

    (ii)  having involved particular action by a particular entity; and

  (c)  treat a particular event that actually happened as:

    (i)  having happened at a time different from the time it actually happened; or

    (ii)  having involved particular action by a particular entity (whether or not the event actually involved any action by that entity).

So Boris definitely wrote the letter and signed it, yesterday, at noon.  At least in Australia.

Peter.
