Contract Interpretation of Material Breach and Remedy Periods
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe court considered whether a contract term regarding material breach was enforceable, focusing on the interpretation of ambiguous language within the agreement concerning the duration and commencement of remedy periods following a notice of default. The court reasoned that where contractual language is susceptible to more than one reasonable interpretation, it should be construed against the drafter, especially where the provision seeks to limit remedies or declare forfeiture, ultimately finding that the notice given was timely under the most reasonable interpretation of the governing clause, thereby excusing the purported material breach.
