Complete.

The word implies either physical, moral, or mechanical perfection.

17 C. B. N. S. 601.

A guaranty that goods are perfect is construed to mean that they are -perfect for the use intended; Roe v. Bacheldor, 41 Wis. 360. The term is applied to obligations in order to distinguish those which may be enforced by law, which are called perfect, Aycock v. Martin, 37 Ga. 128, 92 Am. Dec. 56, from those which cannot be so enforced, which are said to be imperfect. A perfect title is one which is good both at law and in equity.

Warner v. Mut. A. Co., 21 Conn. 449.
