§ 11-1-205. Reasonable time; seasonableness.
Whether a time for taking any action required by this title is reasonable depends on the nature, purpose, and circumstances of such action. An action is taken "seasonably" if it is taken at or within the time agreed, or if no time is agreed, at or within a reasonable time. (Code 1933, § 109A-1 - 204, enacted by Ga. L. 1962, p. 156, § 1; Code 1981, § 11-1-205 , as redesignated by Ga. L. 2015, p. 996, § 3A-1/SB 65.) The 2015 amendment, effective January 1, 2016, redesignated former Code Section 11-1-204 as present Code Section 11-1-205; and substituted the present provisions of this Code section for the former provisions, which read: "(1) Whenever this title requires any action to be taken within a reasonable time, any time which is not manifestly unreasonable may be fixed by agreement. "(2) What is a reasonable time for taking any action depends on the nature, purpose, and circumstances of such action. "(3) An action is taken 'seasonably' when it is taken at or within the time agreed or if no time is agreed at or within a reasonable time."
