HIRE-PURCHASE ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1966 - SECT 26

Notice of default.

26.(1) A notice of default may be served on the hirer under a
hire-purchase agreement, or on the buyer under a conditional sale agreement,
by

(a)addressing it to the person last known to the owner or seller as the hirer
or buyer under the agreement, and sending it by registered post or the
recorded delivery service to the last known address of that person, or

(b)in a case where that person has died, by addressing the notice (if not
served in accordance with paragraph (a)) to that person's personal
representative (whether by that or any similar description, and whether for
the time being there is any personal representative of his or not) and sending
it by registered post or the recorded delivery service to the address which
was the last known address of the deceased person;

(2) Where the person who, immediately before his death, was the hirer under a
hire-purchase agreement, or the buyer under a conditional sale agreement, has
died, and his rights under the agreement have not yet passed to a personal
representative,

(a)section 3 of the Administration of Estates Act (Northern Ireland) 1955
(vesting of estate of intestate between death and grant of administration)
shall not be construed as enabling a notice of default to be served on the
Probate Judge as being the hirer or buyer under that agreement, and

(b)section 25 shall have effect as if the deceased person had not died, and
any reference in that section to default in the payment of a sum payable by
the hirer or buyer shall be construed accordingly.

1955 c.24
