enlargement of time

Read a random definition: earnings yield

A quick definition of enlargement of time:

Enlargement of Time: When someone needs more time to do something, like complete a task or file a document, a court may give them an "enlargement of time." This means the court orders an extension of the deadline to complete the action.

A more thorough explanation:

Enlargement of time refers to a court-ordered extension of the time allowed to perform an action, especially a procedural one. This means that if someone needs more time to complete a task or meet a deadline, they can ask the court for an enlargement of time.

  • John was supposed to file his legal brief by Friday, but he needed more time to finish it. He asked the court for an enlargement of time, and the judge granted him an extra week to complete the brief.
  • Mary was supposed to respond to a lawsuit within 30 days, but she was out of town and didn't receive the papers until the deadline had passed. She asked the court for an enlargement of time, and the judge granted her an extra 15 days to respond.

These examples illustrate how an enlargement of time can be granted by a court to allow someone more time to complete a task or meet a deadline. It is important to note that an enlargement of time is not always granted, and the court will consider the reasons for the request before making a decision.
