An assignment of a deposit-book to another person, is only to be accepted by the Post Office Savings Bank when the act of assignment has taken place at a Post Office entrusted with Post Office Savings Bank business.
This being done, the assignee is to be regarded as the proprietor of the deposit-book. (Art. 21, § 3.)
Minors are entitled to pay in sums as savings and to receive repayments back provided their legal representatives have entered no written objection at the Post Office Savings Bank.
In case of the loss of the deposit-book, a duplicate is, after carrying out the proceedings prescribed by article 14, to be issued.
Whoever causes two or more deposit-books to be issued loses the interests on the capital entered in the second and in any subsequent books.
If the whole amount of the deposits in the two or more deposit-books, that a depositor has caused to be issued, is over the sum of a 1,000 florins, the depositor loses that part of the capital which exceeds 1,000 florins.
The Minister of Commerce is empowered on well considered reasons to be indulgent with reference to the loss of capital, which, in conformity with the regulations occurs to surplus deposits.
Post Office servants are forbidden, except to their superiors, to give any information whatever to anyone, as to the names of depositors, or the amount of their deposits.
