Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) A Unified Approach to Contract Interpretation 2020 by Ryan Catterwell
This important book offers a systematic exposition of interpretation/construction in contract law. It also goes further suggesting practical solutions to disputes regarding questions of interpretation. The book argues that interpretation is not simply about establishing what words mean; it is a process through which objective intention is inferred from the choice of words in a contract. The interpretive process involves four steps: - formulate the question of interpretation in dispute; - explore competing answers to the question; - analyse the admissible material supporting each interpretation; and - weigh and balance the competing considerations.
