Two firms protested the award of a sole-source Navy contract for aircraft components. The protesters contended that the requirement that the cabinet drawers being procured be interchangeable was unreasonable because : in practice the drawers are not moved; they would be damaged if they were moved; and since the Navy was still studying the need for requiring interchangeable drawers for future procurements, the requirement was contradictory... The record supported the need for interchangeable drawers because they are moved in practice, and it would clearly be easier to move the drawers than an entire cabinet. 2, record 1, English, - interchangeable%20drawer

The executor must not unreasonably delay in getting in the assets and settling the affairs of the estate and he will be personally liable for any loss occasioned by undue delay. There is no hard-and-fast rule as to what constitutes undue or unreasonable delay, but it is the practice to speak of the executor's or administrator's year and the Courts attach importance to the question whether the alleged failure to convert or realize assets which resulted in the loss to the estate occurred within or beyond a year.
