Social:Repugnancy
From HandWiki
In common law, repugnancy refers to a contradiction or inconsistency between clauses of the same document, deed, or contract, or between allegations of the same pleading.[1][2] In English law, the court will resolve contradictions in a document based on the primary intention of the parties; if this cannot be established, the court treats the earlier statement as effective in the case of a deed and the later statement as effective in the case of a will.[1]
