California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 2 — Contracts, Title 3 — Interpretation of Contracts, Section 1652
Repugnancy in a contract must be reconciled, if possible, by such an interpretation as will give some effect to the repugnant clauses, subordinate to the general intent and purpose of the whole contract.
Notes
Requires apparently conflicting contract provisions to be reconciled when possible by an interpretation giving some effect to each conflicting clause while subordinating them to the contract’s overall intent and purpose. The goal is to preserve workable meaning rather than discard a clause unnecessarily.
