LikeDislikeIt depends on the context. ‘Putting someone on notice’ is just a complex way of saying ‘notifying’.
It’s the second-most important rule that many lawyers live by (the first being “C.Y.A.”): Almost any problem can be solved with notice. Usually it means one of two things:
(1) You’re planning to do something you think somebody might not like, so you put all interested parties on notice – i.e. tell them, or post in a place that you can expect them to see, what you plan to do.
(2) Somebody is doing something you don’t like, and you tell them that you don’t like it, putting them on notice of your objection.
The thing about notice is this: Somebody tells me they’re going to do something I don’t like; I tell them I object to it. Nobody’s done anything yet, but we already understand each other’s position, and we can try to reach a resolution which respects everyone’s interests before any action is even taken. Doesn’t usually happen that way, but it’s theoretically very nice. On the other hand, if people act first and talk later, then resolutions are all retroactive, and the parties lack the same opportunities to find a creative solution.
