You're not expected to anticipate some kind of interpretative novelty put into place by the judiciary in the course of litigation that interprets the contract that you've entered into. However, you are fully expected to abide by the plain english meaning of the contract you've signed. The "contract" as a tool for commerce or most any other human relation has survived because contracts are interpreted in plain english and parties are free to choose their own wording. The court's job is to ascertain the intention of *the parties*, and not merely it's notion of what is equitable. > > . > >
