COB,EOB,EOD, etc. are all very fluid terms and no one actually give it much weight. At my firm we either set a clear X GMT/CET/ET, whatever, time - or some sort of COB/EOD which may mean 5pm it also may mean 2am. Wouldn’t go as far as legal precedent haha.Historically speaking though, C(E)OB would essentially always be 6pm or whenever one would assume that the office would close its doors for visitors, the same way a shop would. This was usually in line with the coming work day ie. 8-5, 9-6. EOD is in line with the industry standard of like firms, in legal / finance that can be anything up until open business tomorrow lol
