When party to whom notice given is dead
Full Text
When party to whom notice given is dead.—When the party to whom notice of dishonour is dispatched is dead, but the party dispatching the notice is ignorant of his death, the notice is sufficient.
Plain English Summary
Validates a notice of dishonour dispatched to a deceased party if the sender was unaware of the death at the time of sending.
Key Legal Elements
- Notice dispatched to a party who is dead
- Dispatching party must be bona fide ignorant of recipient's death
- The notice is deemed legally sufficient
Practical Note
Protects bona fide holders who send notices without knowledge of the obligor's demise. The estate and legal representatives of the deceased remain bound by such notice, preventing premature dismissal of recovery actions for defective service.
