Three kinds of disputes arise in giving effect to the terms of a contract. One, the meaning of a term of the contract is contested. Two, the contract may be silent, that is, not provided on an aspect. Three, a term limits or excludes the right of a party and therefore should be held to a different yardstick in giving meaning to it. The courts have developed principles for interpreting contracts under these three classes. The chapter reviews the principles for interpretation of contracts.

摘要

Three kinds of disputes arise in giving effect to the terms of a contract. One, the meaning of a term of the contract is contested. Two, the contract may be silent, that is, not provided on an aspect. Three, a term limits or excludes the right of a party and therefore should be held to a different yardstick in giving meaning to it. The courts have developed principles for interpreting contracts under these three classes. The chapter reviews the principles for interpretation of contracts.
