Contra proferentem ("interpretation against the draftsman") |
|
person who wrote the agreement Explanation: If I wrote out an agreement and asked you to sign, I would have an advantage in the negotiations because I composed the agreement. The sentence is just to state that neither person/party has such an advantage because both people/parties have helped to write the agreement and neither person/party can be viewed as the one who, on their own, wrote the agreement. The sentence can help to remove any suggestion that there was coercion or that the agreement was signed without being read and understood. If the two parties have different native languages and the agreement is being translated, I would expect some clarification about which language takes precedence. This will usually be for the legal people to discuss but, as translator, you will need to be aware of the situation. |

Reference: Contra proferentem ("interpretation against the draftsman") Reference information: "Contra proferentem (Latin: "against [the] offeror"),[1] also known as "interpretation against the draftsman", is a doctrine of contractual interpretation providing that, where a promise, agreement or term is ambiguous, the preferred meaning should be the one that works against the interests of the party who provided the wording.[2] The doctrine is often applied to situations involving standardized contracts or where the parties are of unequal bargaining power, but is applicable to other cases.[3]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_proferentem Articolo 1370 Codice Civile - Interpretazione contro l'autore della clausola "La norma รจ posta a protezione della parte debole che, nelle ipotesi contemplate, non ha, di regola, alcun potere di influenzare il contenuto del contratto." http://www.brocardi.it/codice-civile/libro-quarto/titolo-ii/...

Drafting: This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than the other merely by virtue of the fact that it has been prepared initially by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both the Wife and the Husband and their respective counsel have had a full and fair opportunity to negotiate and review the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to contribute to its substance and form."
