(1)
A contract is to be interpreted according to the common intention of the parties even if this differs from the literal meaning of the words.
(2)
If one party intended the contract, or a term or expression used in it, to have a particular meaning, and at the time of the conclusion of the contract the other party was aware, or could reasonably be expected to have been aware, of the first party's intention, the contract is to be interpreted in the way intended by the first party.
(3)
The contract is, however, to be interpreted according to the meaning which a reasonable person would give to it:
- (a)
if an intention cannot be established under the preceding paragraphs; or
- (b)
if the question arises with a person, not being a party to the contract or a person who by law has no better rights than such a party, who has reasonably and in good faith relied on the contract's apparent meaning.
