The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
Walter A. Shumaker and George Foster Longsdorf; ed. James C. Cahill · 1922
Half a year, and not six lunar months. Westminster II. c. 5. TEMPUS UTILE (Lat.)
In civil law. A period of time which runs beneficially; i. e., feast days are not included, nor does it run against one absent in a foreign country, or on business of the republic, or detained by stress of weather. But one detained by sickness is not protected from its running; for it runs where there is powers to act by an agent, as well as where there is power to act personally; and the sick man might have deputed his agent. Calv, Lex.
