DID YOU KNOW?

Nobody owns the Moon, and astronauts carry a special legal status.

Under the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, no nation can claim the Moon, Mars, or any celestial body as its own. Not by flag, not by landing first, and not by occupation. Outer space is the province of all humankind.

The same Treaty calls astronauts “envoys of mankind.” If an astronaut makes an emergency landing anywhere in the world, that country must provide all possible assistance and return them home safely, regardless of their nationality.

You have probably heard the phrase “time is of the essence” before.

It sounds simple enough. You might think it just means, “Please be on time.”

But in a contract, it can mean much more.

The phrase has its roots in 18th-century contract law and is used to show that the agreed time for performing an obligation is important.

For example, imagine you are buying a property in Nigeria, and your agreement requires you to complete payment on a particular date. If the contract states "time is of the essence", missing that deadline may have legal consequences.

Depending on the terms of the agreement, the other party may have the right to take certain steps, including terminating the contract or seeking other available remedies.

And here is something else worth knowing: not every contractual deadline automatically makes time of the essence.

What happens when a deadline is missed depends on the contract, the nature of the obligation and the applicable law.

So, the next time you come across a legal phrase that sounds familiar, pause for a moment.

Knowing the words is not always the same as knowing what they mean in law.

That is the difference between everyday language and legal language.

Knowledge is most valuable when shared. Share this with your community. Follow us for more legal insights.
