Constructive notice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Another common example of constructive notice is found in the law of civil procedure. Where a plaintiff files a lawsuit, but is unable to effect service of process on the defendant because the defendant is in hiding, or their whereabouts are unknown, most states permit the plaintiff to give constructive notice by either posting an announcement of the suit on property known to be owned by the defendant, or by publishing the notice in a local newspaper. Even if the defendant never sees the notice (or, at least, if it can not be proven that the defendant saw it), the court will go forward with the case as though the defendant was fully aware of the proceedings. In such a case, however, the defendant can later challenge the jurisdiction of the court to hear the case, at which time the plaintiff usually has to prove that he tried to effect service of process by other means, and was unable to do so. A "lis pendens" notice is a document filed in the public records which, according to the laws of many states, provides constructive notice of pending litigation which could affect title to the property.
...Various forms of constructive notice have been challenged in the United States Supreme Court as violating due process. While the Court has generally upheld such practices, there have been some exceptions to this, such as in Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306 (1950), where the court held that notice must be "reasonably calculated" to reach known parties to a proceeding.

Boldenation mine there. Freezy asserted:

I call for the respondent know as Mr. Freezy, to produce into evidence "reasonable calculation" in support of the above assertion.

I got onto "constructive notice" from "public notice" and so better cover that Wiki Pidiot article as it pertains, to whit & wherefore & voila: Public notice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For local government, public notice is often given in a local newspaper by those seeking a liquor license, a rezoning or variance, or other minor approval which must be granted by a city council, county commission, or board of supervisors. This may also be required when seeking a broadcast license from a national broadcasting authority.

Public notice can also be given in other ways, such as on a website (which is usually unofficial), or on radio or television. ...

That's Lunch.
