In this training session, Professor Moore will introduce participants to the general legal rules and principles that apply when determining the meaning of disputed commercial contract provisions under the AIFC and English law. He will provide participants with a hypothetical case study involving contested commercial contract terms. Participants will be asked to study and reflect on the relevant terms in the light of the applicable legal rules and principles, before reaching a conclusion on what they regard to be their proper legal meaning in the circumstances at hand.
