§ 1449 Selection Notice Deadline

This law says that if someone has the right to pick between two options but doesn't tell the other person which one they chose in time, then the other person gets to make that choice instead.

Key Takeaways

•You must give notice of your choice by the deadline or before it's time to act.
•If you miss that deadline, the other party can choose for you.
•If no deadline was set, you still need to notify them before it's time to perform.

Example

A tenant can choose to repair a broken heater themselves or have the landlord pay for a repair, but must let the landlord know which they will do within the time given.

If the tenant doesn't tell the landlord which option they pick before the deadline, the landlord can decide for the tenant and handle the repair.

If the party having the right of selection between alternative acts does not give notice of his selection to the other party within the time, if any, fixed by the obligation for that purpose, or, if none is so fixed, before the time at which the obligation ought to be performed, the right of selection passes to the other party. (Enacted 1872.)
