Imputed notice, sometimes classified as constructive notice, is notice to an agent, solicitor, etc., on the presumption that the agent did his duty by communicating the notice to his principal; therefore that presumption may be rebutted if it appears that the agent was a party to fraud, or otherwise acted in such a way as to raise a presumption that he would not communicate the notice to his principal.(Jowitt, 2nd ed., 1977, p. 1253)

DEF

A variety of actual notice that arises where the existence of a fact is within the knowledge of a party so that he is put upon inquiry and can discover the true facts by making reasonable inquiry. For example, in the law of agency, notice can be implied or imputed by law to the principal when notice of any issue or matter is given to an agent when the matter is within the scope of his agency. The principal cannot deny notice except to charge that the agent is in collusion with the party claiming such notice.(Yogis, 1983, p. 149).
