Unforgetable Knowledge, Maurice H. Merrill

Michigan Law Review

In another article, the writer had occasion to analyze the concept of notice. He there called attention to the fact that in some instances the existence of notice depends upon awareness by the person to be charged, either of the ultimate facts or of circumstances placing him upon inquiry thereof, while in other cases notice exists entirely independent of such awareness. To characterize notice of the first class he suggested the term "cognitive notice," applying to the latter the designation "absolute notice."
