Practice question
A general period is expressed as four unspecified months, with no reference to particular calendar months and no special computation rule. A party assumes it always means the same numbered date four calendar months later. Which is best?
- Use the general thirty-day month unit, giving 120 days, rather than automatically converting it to four calendar months.
- Every unspecified month has exactly 31 days.
- Four unspecified months necessarily means four years.
- Only February may ever be counted.
- The party may choose whichever endpoint is later.
