the word “immediately” in the 6th Edition of the Black’s Law Dictionary is “without

interval of time, without delay, straightway or without delay or lapse of time. x x x When
used in contract is usually construed to mean "within a reasonable time having due regard
to the nature of the circumstances of the case",although strictly, it means "not deferred
by any period of time". x x x The words "immediately" and "forthwith" have generally the
same meaning. They are stronger than the expression "within a reasonable time" and
imply prompt, vigorous action without any delay.” Notably, the word “immediately” was
used not a contract. Hence, the definition is not applicable in the instant case.
