Interpretation Of Contract Terms

Interpretation of Contract Terms is the legal doctrine whereby courts ascertain the meaning of ambiguous or disputed language in a contract by identifying the parties' shared intention at the time of formation, distinguished from related doctrines by its focus on objective manifestations of intent within the contract's text and context rather than on unilateral mistakes or external evidence alone.
