California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 2 — Contracts, Title 3 — Interpretation of Contracts, Section 1657

If no time is specified for the performance of an act required to be performed, a reasonable time is allowed. If the act is in its nature capable of being done instantly—as, for example, if it consists in the payment of money only—it must be performed immediately upon the thing to be done being exactly ascertained.

Notes

Sets a reasonable time for required contractual performance when no time is specified. If the required act is inherently capable of immediate performance, including an obligation consisting only of paying money, it must be performed immediately once the exact thing to be done has been ascertained.
