• Contracts are not written to convey information or
persuade
• Goal of a contract drafter is to precisely reflect “the
meeting of the minds” in a way that will be
understood by the readers.(Consensus ad idem)
• Objective of contract negotiation and drafting
process is arriving at the meeting of the minds.
• Hallmark of contracting is to create rules binding on
the parties and confer on them rights and obligations
cognizable in law.
