The legal principle of construing ambiguity against the person who drafted the document is known as the rule of contra proferentem. This rule applies to contracts and other legal documents and means that, in case of an ambiguity or flaw in the contract, the interpretation will favor the party who did not write the clause. This ensures that the party who drafted the document takes responsibility for any unclear or ambiguous language used.
