A foresight is a reading taken on a position of unknown coordinate(s). Since a survey progresses from a point of known position to points of unknown position, a foresight is a reading looking "forward" along the line of progress. Foresights may be taken on the "main circuit" of the survey or on additional points of interest. Readings on additional points of interest are sometimes called sideshots or intermediate foresights to distinguish them from the readings that form the main circuit of the survey. 2, record 3, English, - foresight

A capacity which is frequently notionally postulated of a hypothetical "reasonable man" when a court is seeking to determine whether a particular defendant should or should not be held liable for a particular happening. "Reasonably foreseeable" is frequently used as a standard; e.g. where a court states that a defendant will be liable if he should reasonably have foreseen that consequences of a certain kind were likely to result .... How far the foresight of a reasonable man would extend in particular circumstances is a policy decision .... Generally, however, it is restricted to the kind of things which a sensible person should have realized might well happen. 2, record 5, English, - foresight
