[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3133422, member: 13624"] Based solely on what you've said here, I have to agree with the Court on this one. Contracts are governed by the objective manifestations of intent (i.e. the wording expressed in the contract), not the subjective thoughts and feelings of the parties. This is hornbook law, most famously exemplified in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_v._Zehmer'][I]Lucy v. Zehmer[/I], 196 Va. 493; 84 S.E.2d 516 (1954)[/URL]. Absent more facts--and I'd love to read more about it, if you can give me some sort of case citation or name--the Court was right to look at the wording in the contract, not any external evidence. See also the "parol evidence rule." [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parol_evidence_rule']Wikipedia article[/URL]; [URL='https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/parol_evidence_rule']Cornell Legal Information Institute's article[/URL]. But I digress.... [/QUOTE]
