Fitzwilliam v. 1220 Iroquois Venture

1 Citing case

  1. Ollivier v. Alden

    262 Ill. App. 3d 190 (Ill. App. Ct. 1994)   Cited 45 times
    In Ollivier, a real-estate sales contract contained a provision whereby the seller guaranteed that the roof and basement were free of leaks and that all utilities were in good working order at the time of closing.

    Conversely, when the language of a contract is unambiguous, the intent of the parties at the time the agreement was entered into must be determined from the language used in the agreement itself, not from the construction placed upon it afterwards by the parties. ( Fitzwilliam v. 1220 Iroquois Venture (1992), 233 Ill. App.3d 221, 230.) An ambiguity is not created merely because the parties disagree as to the meaning of a contract clause.
