Abstract

This text focuses on the interpretation of the contract, highlighting its peculiarities and pointing to hermeneutic canons of Brazilian Law. The article stresses that care must be taken when a contract is interpreted from general clauses, mainly good faith (Civil Code, art. 113). It recommends following hermeneutic standards settled by doctrinal tradition as anchors to make the legal certainty feasible.
