Interpretation of Commercial Contracts – Meaning, Intention and Mores

The principles of interpretation of commercial contracts are well settled, but their application to particular transactions and arrangements continues to regularly result in disputes that end up before courts and tribunals. In this program, Carmel Proudfoot, from Norton Rose Fulbright in Perth, provides a guide to key issues that arise in contractual interpretation including, identification of terms of a contract where the contract is not wholly in writing; evidence that is admissible when construing a contract; and the principles and rules that the courts will apply in determining the meaning and effect of contractual terms.
