Well, it's not ambiguous what the word "midnight" means.

  It is, when it's attached to a day - it could be at the very beginning of that day or the very end.

    Friday Midnight is the same as Midnight Saturday Morning. I mean there is no standards committee for this, but that's what common convention tells us in the Anglophone part of the world.

      Is "midnight 1st January 2017" unambiguous? Would it be in a legal document? I've often enough seen "1st January 2017, 11:59 pm" or, even worse, "1st January 2017, 12:01 am" for deadlines etc.

        Would you rely on common conventions in a legal document rather than legally defined terms?
