英国合同法下,合同解释的传统规则要求按照合同本身的条款和用语的通常的意思进行解释,但Hoffmann勋爵在Investors Compensation Scheme Ltd v West Bromwich Building Society案(以下简称“ICS案”)的判决中确立了五个合同解释的规则,被称为英国合同解释规则从传统向现代转变的一个标志。尽管Hoffmann勋爵确立的五个合同解释规则被不断引用,但传统解释规则在最近的一系列案例中又被运用和发展,呈现出传统解释规则回归的趋势。
Under British contract law, the traditional rules for the interpretation of contracts require interpretation in the usual sense of the terms and terminology of the contract itself, but Lord Hoffmann, in the case of the Investors Compensation Scheme Ltd v West Bromwich Building Society (“ICS Case”) The ruling established five rules of contract interpretation, known as the British contract interpretation rules from traditional to modern a symbol of change. Although the five rules of contract interpretation established by Lord Hoffmann are constantly quoted, the rules of traditional interpretation have been applied and developed in a series of recent cases, showing a trend of return to the traditional rules of interpretation.
