REASONABLE TIME
(bouvier) | REASONABLE TIME. The English law, which in this respect, has been adopted by
us, frequently requires things to be done within a reasonable time; but what
a reasonable time is it does not define: quam longum debet esse rationabile
tempus, non definitur in lege, sed pendet ex discretione justiciariorum. Co.
Litt, 50. This indefinite requisition is the source of much litigation. A

after advice received of the loss. Marsh. Insurance, 589.
