My understanding is that most of the notaries who sign contracts with ss do not have a copy with the ss signiture. Also the contracts state that the notary will get paid for their services. If the notary has performed they should be paid.
So if you are dependent on your contract for your argument, I suggest 1. that all parties have signed it and received copies. 2. that you perform according to the terms of your contract.
I am no lawyer but I understand that the confirmation order is a contract in itself. |
