IEA Section 95 — Evidence as to document unmeaning in reference to existing facts

Summary

If the words in a document are clear on their own but do not make sense when compared to actual facts, you can present evidence to prove that the words were meant to be understood in a special or different way.

Official Text

When language used in a document is plain in itself, but is unmeaning in reference to existing facts, evidence may be given to show that it was used in a peculiar sense.
