N.Y. Banking Law § 633: Service of notice or process during time of war

§ 633. Service of notice or process during time of war. Whenever,

pursuant to the provisions of this article, any communication, notice or

other paper or process is required to be given or served by the

superintendent upon any person and the giving or service thereof is in

any manner prohibited by the provisions of the act of congress, known as

the "Trading with the Enemy Act," or any amendment thereof, or the

rules, regulations or licenses issued pursuant thereto, or any other

law, rule, regulation or license pursuant to law prohibiting or

regulating the same, such communication, notice or other paper or

process shall be deemed to have been duly given or served on such person

if given or served on his or her behalf, in the manner provided in the

pertinent provisions of this article, on the noncitizen property

custodian or on such other officer as may have been appointed or

designated by the president of the United States of America to take

possession of the property of noncitizen enemies. This section shall

apply whether or not (1) such noncitizen property custodian or other

officer shall actually have taken possession of any property of such

person, or (2) the president, or an officer duly designated by him or

her for the purpose, has the power to authorize or license the giving or

service of any such communication, notice or other paper or process, and

nothing herein shall require the superintendent to apply to the

president or such officer for such authority or license, provided,

however, that in any case where it appears that at the time such

communication, notice or other paper or process is required to be given

or served, the president or such officer has actually authorized or

licensed the giving or service of same in the manner provided in the

pertinent provisions of this article, then this section shall not apply

and the superintendent shall be required to give or serve such

communication, notice or other paper or process on such person in

accordance with such authorization or license.
