Interpretation and characterization
Interpretation and characterization legal meaning, translation and judicial precedents.
Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
To characterize a contract, the court must consider not only the obligations and other effects of the contract that the parties had stipulated, but also in some cases the circumstances of its formation and how they had applied it
In such respect, although the court would never be bound by the parties' own characterization, and although he or she had the power to attribute to the agreement the legal nature that, in his or her view, truly corresponded to its content, the court nevertheless remained bound by the common intention of the parties as regards the content of their agreement
Court had to consider whether the name given to a contract actually corresponded to the effects being sought, and it was up to [the Court] to impose on the parties the nature of their agreement that resulted from the expression of their intention.
