Q

what is the officious bystander in traditional view of implicitly

A

Imagine a bystander listening as the parties finalize their contract. If the bystander suggests a term, and both parties agree it’s obvious and should be part of the contract, the term can be implied.
The idea is that the term is so obvious, it doesn’t need to be explicitly written down.
