Contextual Interpretation Clause Samples
The Contextual Interpretation clause defines how the terms and provisions of a contract should be understood in relation to the entire agreement and its surrounding circumstances. In practice, this means that if a particular word or section is ambiguous, its meaning will be determined by considering the contract as a whole, as well as the context in which it was created, rather than relying solely on a strict or literal interpretation. This approach helps ensure that the parties' true intentions are honored and reduces the risk of misunderstandings or disputes arising from isolated or out-of-context readings of the contract.
Contextual Interpretation. Demonstration of competence may take place in different areas of practice and different types of work. Competence statements are therefore discipline-independent. Competence statements accommodate different types of work, for example design, research and development and engineering management by using the broad phases in the cycle of engineering activity: problem analysis, synthesis, implementation, operation and evaluation, together the management attributes needed. The competence statements include the personal attributes needed for competent performance irrespective of specific local requirements: communication, ethical practice, judgement, taking responsibility and the protection of society. The professional competency profiles are stated generically and are applicable to all engineering disciplines. The application of a competency profile may require amplification in different regulatory, disciplinary, occupational or environmental contexts. In interpreting the statements within a particular context, individual statements may be amplified and given particular emphasis but must not be altered in substance or ignored.
Contextual Interpretation. The graduate attributes are stated generically and are applicable to all engineering disciplines. In interpreting the statements within a disciplinary context, individual statements may be amplified and given particular emphasis but must not be altered in substance or individual elements ignored.
Contextual Interpretation. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and vice versa.
