CACI No. 319

Interpretation—Reasonable Time

activein force · 2023-01-01 – presentcompiled-edition

If a contract does not state a specific time in which the parties are to

meet the requirements of the contract, then the parties must meet them

within a reasonable time. What is a reasonable time depends on the facts

of each case, including the subject matter of the contract, the reasons

each party entered into the contract, and the intentions of the parties at

the time they entered the contract.
