A quick definition of local usage:

Local Usage: A regular practice or method that is observed in a particular place. It is sometimes considered by a court when interpreting a document. It can be different from other places and is not necessarily a law, but just something that people are used to doing. For example, a local usage could be a certain way of doing business in a specific town or city.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Local usage refers to a practice or method that is regularly observed in a particular place or region. It is sometimes considered by a court in interpreting a document.

For example, if a contract is signed in a particular city, the court may consider the local usage of that city when interpreting the terms of the contract. This means that the court will take into account any customary practices or methods that are regularly observed in that city when deciding what the contract means.

Another example of local usage is in the trade industry. A trade usage is a customary practice or set of practices relied on by persons conversant in, or connected with, a trade or business. For instance, if a particular trade has a custom of delivering goods within a certain time frame, this would be considered a trade usage.

Overall, local usage is a well-known, customary, and uniform practice that is specific to a particular place or region. It is important to consider local usage when interpreting documents or conducting business in a particular area.
