LaycanAn abbreviation of "layday cancelling date" or "laydays cancelling". A term used in a voyage charterparty, (supra) referring to the period of time between the commencement of laytime (infra) (being the beginning of the "lay days" when the charterer must commence loading the cargo), and the cancelling date (being the date after which the charterer may repudiate the charterparty if the ship has not then arrived at the specified port or place of loading). This period, also called the "laycan spread", is typically expressed as two dates, for example "laycan 25 March/2 April", meaning that the charterer may not be obliged to commence loading earlier than 25 March even if the ship has arrived at the specified port or place of loading by that date, and that he may cancel the charterparty if the ship has not arrived there by 2 April.

For instance, if a builder engage to construct a house for me, I must allow a reasonable time for fulfilling his engagement. 3) Estates. The limitation of an estate, as a term for years, for life, and the like. The word term does not merely signify the time specified in the lease, but the estate also and interest that passes by that lease; and therefore the term may expire during the continuance of the time, as by surrender, forfeiture and the like. 4) Practice. The space of time during which a court holds a session; sometimes the term is a monthly, at others it is a quarterly period, according to the constitution of the court.
