Walters on Language, Meaning, and Contracts

Visit The Walters Way to read Professor Adrian Walters’ latest blog post, “Language, context, extrinsic evidence & #contractsftw,” in which he comments on the problems of language and meaning as they relate to the interpretation of contract terms. After analyzing the views of the late Roger Traynor, former Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, who favored the use of extrinsic evidence to clarify ambigious contract language, Walters proposes a fresh look at the “plain meaning” rule in contract interpretation.
