Question:
How are insurance policies interpreted by courts?
 

Answer:

The interpretation of insurance policies depends on the jurisdiction, since these policies are contracts. The court may restrict its interpretation to the language itself. It can also attempt to interpret the policy as a whole, by interpreting the language in order to make it consistent with the policy as a whole. The court can also try to decide the meaning of the language in the context of the policy’s purpose.
