A quick definition of imparlance:
Imparlance is a word that was used in the past in legal cases. It means that if someone was being sued, they could ask for more time to answer the person who was suing them. This was so they could try to talk and settle the problem without going to court. Sometimes, they were given more than one chance to ask for more time. This was called an imparlance. Nowadays, this word is not used very often.
