Simple English definitions for legal terms

vagueness

Read a random definition: forestalling the market

A quick definition of vagueness:

Vagueness means that something is not clear or specific. This can be a problem if a law or rule is vague because people may not know what they are supposed to do or not do. It can also cause problems if two people have different ideas about what something means. There are different types of vagueness, like when a word or phrase can have different meanings or when something is not clear on its own but becomes unclear when applied to a specific situation.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Vagueness refers to uncertain or unclear meaning in language or terms. It can create problems in legal contexts if laws or contracts are not clear enough, leading to arbitrary enforcement. Vagueness can also be used interchangeably with ambiguity, which refers to uncertainty in meaning or intention.

Examples:

  • The phrase "within a reasonable time" is vague because it is not clear what is considered reasonable.
  • A contract term that says "the product will be delivered promptly" is vague because it does not specify a specific timeframe for delivery.
  • A statute that prohibits "unreasonable noise" is vague because it does not define what constitutes unreasonable noise.

These examples illustrate how vagueness can create confusion and uncertainty in legal contexts. Without clear definitions and guidelines, it can be difficult to enforce laws or contracts fairly and consistently.
