Drop Dead Date Law and Legal Definition
This is a provision in a contract or a court order that sets the last date that an event can take place (such as payment), or otherwise certain consequences will automatically follow, such as canceling a contract, taking property, or entering a judgment. A typical drop dead date example is the contract for the baking of a birthday cake, where it is implied that a late delivery will constitute a material breach.
