HIRE-PURCHASE ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1966 - SECT 12

Notice of cancellation.

12.(1) For the purposes of section 11 a notice of cancellation

(a)shall be deemed to be served on the owner or seller if it is sent by post
addressed to a person specified in a statement contained either in the first
statutory copy or in the second statutory copy of the relevant document as
being a person to whom such a notice may be sent, and is addressed to that
person at an address so specified, and

(b)where paragraph (a) applies, shall be deemed to be served on the owner or
seller at the time when it is posted.

(2) Subsection (1) shall have effect without prejudice to the service of a
notice of cancellation (whether by post or otherwise) in any way in which the
notice could be served apart from that subsection, whether the notice is
served on the owner or seller or on a person who (whether by virtue of
subsection (3) or otherwise) is the agent of the owner or seller for the
purpose of receiving such a notice.

(3) Any person who conducted any antecedent negotiations, but is not the owner
or seller, shall be deemed to be the agent of the owner or seller for the
purpose of receiving any notice of cancellation served by the prospective
hirer or buyer.

(4) A notice of cancellation which is sent by post to a person at his proper
address, otherwise than in accordance with subsection (1), shall be deemed to
be served on him at the time when it is posted.

(5) So much of section 24 of the Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland) 1954 as
relates to the time when service is deemed to have been effected shall not
apply to a notice of cancellation.
