What is Contra Proferentem in Insurance Law about?

This document summarizes an article that discusses the declining use of the legal doctrine of contra proferentem, which holds that ambiguities in contracts are interpreted against the drafter, as the primary rule of insurance contract interpretation. The article notes that while contra proferentem remains an important secondary rule, the primary goal of contract interpretation is usually to determine the intent of the parties. However, in insurance cases courts often apply contra proferentem above all else.
