The following excerpt is from Low v Straiton Development Corporation, 2022 BCSC 302 (CanLII):
Surrounding circumstances or consideration of the factual matrix cannot overwhelm the words of the agreement itself: Sandhu v. Sidhu, 2019 BCCA 465 at para. 24. Interpreting provisions of a contract should be centered on the core meaning of the entire contract, and consideration of background facts should only come from objective evidence extant at the time of the execution of the contract: Sattva at para. 58.
