Contra Proferentum

Definition:

Contra proferentum is a Latin legal principle that holds that any ambiguity in a contract should be interpreted against the party who drafted the contract.

Examples:

1. The insurance policy had vague terms, and the court applied the contra proferentum rule to interpret them in favor of the insured.
2. Since the company included confusing clauses in the employment contract, the judge ruled that the contra proferentum principle should be applied to interpret the conditions in the employee's favor.
