IN THE CHANCERY OF ALEXANDRIA
ENTREATY FOR PRIOR PONDERANCE
Honorable Chancellors, I humbly request prior ponderance and a ruling regarding the following unsettled matter of law:
I. INTERPRETATION OF AMBIGUOUS TEMPORAL REFERENCES
When a temporal marker, such as 'the day begun,' or other references to the passage of a day are presented without an explicit timezone designation, what presumption, rule of interpretation, or evidentiary burden shall govern its understanding for legal purposes, particularly concerning the commencement or cessation of relevant periods or actions?
Respectfully submitted to the Chancery on May 21, 2025,
