Hicks v. Lawrence

Facts:
In a civil case, the Appellant independent power producer filed an action against appellee public utility for damages due to breach of contract. The independent power producer filed a pretrial motion to present parol evidence relevant to the construction of the contract. The Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia) held that the particular section of the contract was not ambiguous and refused to admit parole evidence. The producer sought review.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • The question whether an agreement is ambiguous is not one of fact but one of law, and the function of a court is to construe the contract made by the parties, not to make a contract for them. Contracts are not rendered ambiguous merely because the parties or their attorneys disagree upon the meaning of the language employed to express the agreement. Even though an agreement may have been drawn unartfully, a court must construe the language as written if its parts can be read together without conflict.
  • Evidence that contract phrases or terms have acquired, by custom in the locality, or by usage of the trade, a peculiar meaning not attached to them in their ordinary use is admissible even though the phrases or terms themselves are unambiguous. Va. Code Ann. § 8.2-202(a).
