There are some terrestrial precedents related to international recognition

between local timekeeping among the Earth, Mars and the asteroids might lead
to some considerable confusion and perhaps even threats to health and
safety.
I expect contracts would simply expand from the usual:
"This contract is governed by the laws of the state of <abc>"
to add:
... "based on Universal Coordinated Time on the planet Earth".
international contracts that cover many timezones have already had to deal
with this issue.
It might or might not be too early to put serious thought into this -- I
have no idea how long it might take to set the relevant standards.
How long has UTC been in place?
