https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=292899 Section 424 of the Code of Civil Procedure required two months' prior written notice before a suit could be instituted against the Secretary of State. The Court construed the provision in its ordinary terms and rejected any narrower reading limiting it to particular classes of suits.
