About the Webinar
What many see as rules of interpretation may better belong in the fiction category. Many misconceptions prevail. This session looks at correct rules for interpreting commercial contracts, including:
- Construction of the contract – what is admissible and what is not
- When can you access extrinsic material to address an ambiguity?
- Looking at pre and post contractual conduct – what is permissible?
- Identification of terms in partly written and partly oral contracts
- Implying terms into contracts – is there anything new here?
- Is there such a thing as a ‘reasonable businessperson’ in determining meaning?
- Determining the meaning of words in the contract
- Industry specific terms of art – meaning and effect
- Reading the contract as a whole – obtaining a commercially meaningful construction
