A remotely located principal is outside the United States. What else must be true?

A

The record must be written only in English.

B

The act is valid only if the principal is in Canada or Mexico.

C

The record must relate to a U.S. matter or U.S. property or transaction substantially connected to the U.S.

D

The county clerk must preapprove the session.

Correct Answer

C. The record must relate to a U.S. matter or U.S. property or transaction substantially connected to the U.S.

AI Explanation

Foreign-located principals need a U.S. nexus. Executive Law §135-c(4)(a) and 19 NYCRR §182.4(a)(9) require the record to relate to a matter before a U.S. entity or to U.S. property or a transaction substantially connected to the United States. Unlike a domestic remote act, location outside the U.S. triggers this added condition.
