Objectivity
Courts will apply an objective test to determine the factual circumstances of the agreement. This means the objective meaning of the words and actions of the parties will be decisive. Although the aim is to determine the actual intention of each party, courts do not search for their subjective states of mind. Rather, they look for the objective intention of each party as manifested by their words and conduct.
