In an unlocked condition of the latch, movement of a handle () is operative to enable the latch to change from the latched to unlatched condition. The latch includes a keylock () and an electrical actuator (). Each of the keylock and the electrical actuator are operative to independently change the condition of the latch between locked and unlocked conditions.
