This “[[may]]” means “[[must]]” and, as long as ''[[Greenclose]]'' remains the unchallenged last word in British jurisprudence, it excludes any other means of delivering a notice. Since hand-delivery and delivery by courier are mentioned but the ordinary post isn’t, this probably rules it out. (But if it’s important, who would use snail mail anyway?) | ||

However curious Andrews J’s reasoning on “[[may]]”, note the overriding restriction on forms of notice for closing out: no [[email]], no [[Electronic messaging system - ISDA Provision|electronic messages]]. But note ''another'' dissonance: in the {{1992ma}}, close-out notification by [[fax]] was expressly forbidden; in the 2002, it is not: only [[Electronic messaging system - ISDA Provision|electronic messaging systems]] and [[e-mail]] are ''verboten''. Ironic, seeing how [[fax|faxes]] have got on as a fashionable means of communication in the decades since they were sophisticated enough to be a plot McGuffin for a John Grisham novel. | However curious Andrews J’s reasoning on “[[may]]”, note the overriding restriction on forms of notice for closing out: no [[email]], no [[Electronic messaging system - ISDA Provision|electronic messages]].
