§ 9-07-19 — Uncertainty interpreted against party causing it - Presumption as to cause

North Dakota § 9-07-19

• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 9: Contracts and Obligations
• Ch. 9-07: Interpretation of Contract

Text

In cases of uncertainty not removed by the preceding rules, the language of a contract
should be interpreted most strongly against the party who caused the uncertainty to exist. The
promisor is presumed to be such party, except in a contract between a public officer or body, as
such, and a private party, and in such case it is presumed that all uncertainty was caused by the
private party.
