true construction

true construction
The rule of construction in ascertaining the intent of the parties as revealed in the language of the instrument and, as necessary in a proper case, in interpreting such language in the light of the surrounding circumstances. In construing contracts, recourse must first be had to the language of the instrument. A true construction of the words or phrases used is the touchstone of legal right. They are to be interpreted according to their strict and primary acceptation unless from the context of the instrument and the intention of the parties to be collected from it as they appear to be used in a different sense, the cardinal rule always being to give effect to the intention of the parties in the light of the surrounding circumstances. Prudential Ins. Co. v Nelson (CA6 Tenn) 101 F2d 441.
