California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 2 — Contracts, Title 3 — Interpretation of Contracts, Section 1645
Technical words are to be interpreted as usually understood by persons in the profession or business to which they relate, unless clearly used in a different sense.
Notes
Requires technical words in a contract to be interpreted as they are usually understood by persons in the relevant profession or business, unless the contract clearly uses the words in a different sense. The specialized professional or trade meaning therefore controls absent clear contrary usage.
