ENDURING POWERS OF ATTORNEY ORDINANCE - SECT 19

Effect of failure to notify persons nominated by donor

Where provision is made under section 18(3) for nomination of persons for the
purpose of notification and the donor of an enduring power makes such a
nomination, the failure (for whatever reason) by the attorney to notify any
person so nominated has the following effect-

   (a)  it does not preclude the registration of the instrument creating the
        enduring power;

   (b)  the enduring power is not invalidated by reason of such failure; and

   (c)  in any legal proceedings relating to the enduring power, where it
        considers it appropriate, the court may draw an adverse inference from
        such failure.
