Legal Definitions - notification

Definition: Notification is a formal announcement of a legally relevant fact, action, or intent. It can also refer to when someone informs another person of a fact or does an act that has the same effect as acquiring knowledge.

1. In international law, a country may give notification of their intent to withdraw from a treaty.

2. If a landlord wants to evict a tenant, they must give them notification of the eviction by providing a written notice.

3. If a company changes their privacy policy, they may give notification to their customers by sending an email or posting the changes on their website.

These examples illustrate how notification can be used in different contexts, such as in international law, landlord-tenant relationships, and business practices. Notification is important because it ensures that people are informed of legally relevant facts or actions that may affect them.
