Question: 1 / 50

Who is responsible for interpreting the language in a contract?

The court

The court is responsible for interpreting the language in a contract because they are the impartial third party that will ultimately enforce the contract if there are any disputes or breaches. They have the legal authority and expertise to interpret the contract's language in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. The buyers and sellers may have their own interpretations of the contract, but ultimately it is the court's interpretation that will be binding. The parties to the contract are also not responsible for interpreting the language, as their role is primarily to negotiate and agree upon the terms of the contract, not to interpret them.
