Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In contract law, when an ambiguity arises in a contract that cannot be clarified with outside evidence, it is a common principle to interpret the ambiguity against the party who drafted the contract. This is known as the "contra proferentem" rule, which helps to protect the party that did not have control over the wording of the contract.
