vagueness

vagueness.

1. Uncertain breadth of meaning (the phrase “within a reasonable time” is plagued by vagueness — what is reasonable?). • Though common in writings generally, vagueness raises due-process concerns if legislation does not provide fair notice of what is required or prohibited, because enforcement may be arbitrary.

2. Loosely, ambiguity. See AMBIGUITY.
