Section 111 — Excise Tax Act: Action against officers

No writ shall be issued against, nor any process served on, any officer for any thing done or purporting to be done in the exercise of his duty as an officer until one month after notice in writing has been served on him, in which notice shall be clearly and explicitly stated the cause of action, the name and place of residence of the person who intends to bring action and the name of his attorney, solicitor or agent. No evidence of any cause of action shall be produced except of such cause of action as is contained in the notice, and no verdict or judgment shall be given for the plaintiff, unless he proves on the trial that the notice was given, in default of which proof the defendant is entitled to a verdict or judgment and costs.
