Sintesi Legislator

Generato dall'IA

The case involves a dispute over the enforceability of a contract's terms, specifically regarding the calculation of late payment interest, where the contract stipulated one method but the underlying transaction records indicated another method was consistently used and accepted by the parties. The court reasoned that where parties have consistently interpreted and applied a contractual provision in a certain way, such practical construction reveals the parties' true intent, which should govern, even if the literal language of the contract is ambiguous or suggests a different result.
