CONTRACTUAL INTERPRETATION AND THE MEANING OF 'ATTRIBUTABLE TO'

摘要

In Delta Electricity v Centennial Mandalong Pty Ltd [2014] NSWCA 178 the New South Wales Court of Appeal held that words in a commercial contract will be given their ordinary meaning, taking into account the surrounding circumstances and the purpose of the contract. The case considered whether government charges imposed under the national carbon pricing scheme were charges "attributable to " coal sold by the respondent and purchased by the appellant.
