Lucid Interval
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Lucid Interval. By a lucid interval is understood, in a legal sense, a temporary cessation of the insanity or a perfect restoration to reason. It differs entirely from a remission, in which there is a mere abatement of the symptoms. See per Lord Thurlow in Attroney-General v. Parnther, (1792) 3 Bro. C. C. 442; also Ray's Med. Jur. of Insan.; Beck's Med. Jur.; and Browne's Med. Jur. of Insan.
