duly

duly
The word has acquired a fixed legal meaning, and when used before any word implying action, it means that the act was done properly, regularly, and according to law. It is often used before such words as "convened," "arrested," "qualified," "served," "presented," "discharged," and many others, and in such cases it has the meaning of the word "legally" or "properly," "according to law." O'Donnell v People, 224 Ill 218, 79 NE 639. Citing Am & Eng Encyc of Law.
