  • Investors Compensation Scheme Ltd. v West Bromwich Building Society [1997] UKHL 28 is a frequently-cited English contract law case which laid down that a contextual approach must be taken to the interpretation of contracts. Lord Hoffmann set out five principles, so that contract should be construed according to: 1. * what a reasonable person having all the background knowledge would have understood 2. * where the background includes anything in the 'matrix of fact' that could affect the language's meaning 3. * but excluding prior negotiations, for the policy of reducing litigation 4. * where meaning of words is not to be deduced literally, but contextually 5. * on the presumption that people do not easily make linguistic mistakes (en)
