Intro to Law and Legal Process
Contra proferentem is a legal doctrine used in contract law that interprets ambiguous terms in a contract against the interests of the party that drafted the document. This principle serves to protect the weaker party in a contractual agreement by ensuring that the party with greater bargaining power cannot exploit vague language to their advantage. It emphasizes fairness and encourages clarity in drafting contracts.
