plain meaning rule
The approach that gives contract words their ordinary meaning without outside evidence when they appear clear; under the UCC and most modern cases, usage and course of dealing can still explain apparently clear words.
In SpanishEn español
regla del significado llano
Si las palabras parecen claras, se aplican tal cual. Hurst y el UCC § 1-303 la matizan: los usos del gremio pueden explicar palabras que parecen claras.
