The Interpretation of Contracts is a leading text on contracts focused specifically on how courts interpret contractual wording. It helps practitioners advise and build arguments when challenging contracts. It also informs the process of drafting or revising a contract. Written by Sir Kim Lewison, it is widely recognised as a core reference in this area
It's designed for commercial and disputes lawyers, barristers, in-house counsel, and contract drafters who need clear guidance on contract interpretation principles backed by case law — whether you're advising pre-dispute, drafting, or litigating.
It helps you navigate key case law and statutory context affecting interpretation, so you can draft or revise contracts more safely and prepare persuasive arguments when the wording is challenged. In practice, that means turning "what does this clause mean?" into a structured, authority-backed analysis.
200 new cases are considered to help refine and understand the courts’ approach when interpreting contract clauses: a small stream of Supreme Court decisions on implied terms, conclusive certificates, and liquidated damages, alongside a steady flow of Court of Appeal and High Court cases. The chapter on exemption clauses has been fully revised and updated to reflect a judicial trend towards requiring clearer and more explicit contractual language before valuable rights are treated as having been surrendered.
