| The Official Comment to UCC Section 1201(26), on which this | subsection is based, explains that "notifies" is the word used when | the essential fact is the proper dispatch of the notice, not its | receipt. When the essential fact is the other party's receipt of | the notice, that is stated. |
|
| | A notification is not required to be in writing. That is a | change from UPA Section 3(2)(b). As under the UCC, the time and | circumstances under which a notification may cease to be | effective are not determined by RUPA. |
|
| | Subsection (e) determines when an agent's knowledge or notice | is imputed to an organization, such as a corporation. In | general, only the knowledge or notice of the agent conducting the | particular transaction is imputed to the organization. | Organizations are expected to maintain reasonable internal | routines to insure that important information reaches the | individual agent handling a transaction. If, in the exercise of | reasonable diligence on the part of the organization, the agent | should have known or had notice of a fact, or received a | notification of it, the organization is bound. The Official | Comment to UCC Section 1201(27) explains: |
|
| This makes clear that reason to know, knowledge, or a | notification, although "received" for instance by a clerk in | Department A of an organization, is effective for a | transaction conducted in Department B only from the time | when it was or should have been communicated to the | individual conducting that transaction. |
|
| | Subsection (e) uses the phrase "person other than an | individual" in lieu of the UCC term "organization." |
|
| | Subsection (f) continues the rule in UPA Section 12 that a | partner's knowledge or notice of a fact relating to the | partnership is imputed to the partnership, except in the case of | fraud on the partnership. Limited partners, however, are not | "partners" within the meaning of RUPA. See Comment 4 to Section | 202. It is anticipated that RULPA will address the issue of | whether notice to a limited partner is imputed to a limited | partnership. |
