"Businessmen" can keep whatever time they like for internal use, but whenever a businessman communicates with a customer or another business, the courts will interpret any times stated as being the legal time of the applicable jurisdiction, although in many cases the businessman and the other parties have the option of agreeing to a different time scale. So the businessman who uses TAI internally must either take great care to convert this to the appropriate legal time scale when communicating to outsiders, or must form a contract with each and every external contact to use TAI instead of the legal time scale that would normally apply. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
