Article 757

De l'effet des Obligations

Contract Law
Titre XVII: Des Contrats ou Obligations conventionnelles en général (On Contracts or Conventional Obligations in General)
Chapitre II: De l'effet des Obligations (On the Effect of Obligations)

Au lieu de s'arrêter au sens littéral des termes dans l'interprétation des conventions, il faut chercher qu'elle a été la commune intention des parties.

Life lesson: Look past the words to find what the parties actually meant — intention trumps text.
Notes: Interpretation principle: common intention of parties over literal meaning. Subjective interpretation. Cf. Code Napoléon Art. 1156.
