notice of action or proceeding
- notice of action or proceeding
-
The formal notice required to confer jurisdiction; a summons or original notice.
A distinction is to be observed between knowledge of the pendency of an action or proceeding and notice thereof. If a defendant does not submit himself to the jurisdiction of the court, jurisdiction can be acquired in no other way than by actual or constructive notice, whatever he may know of the existence of the proceedings. National Metal Co. v Greene Consol. Copper Co. 11 Ariz 108, 89 P 535.
