More Or Less

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

More or less (sive plus siveminus). These words in a contract, which rests in fieri, will only excuse a very small deficiency in the quantity of an estate; for if there be a considerable deficiency, the purchaser will be entitled to an abatement; see Crossv. Eglin, (1831) 2 B. & Ad. 106. The words are inconstant use in describing the parcels in a conveyance, but the cases do not seem to define their precise effect.

Definitions are for legal research. Always verify meaning in the context of the statute, judgment, or jurisdiction cited.
