Language Precedence Clause

Meaning

A contractual stipulation, often found in international agreements, that explicitly states which of the various language versions of the contract will prevail and be legally controlling in the event of any inconsistencies or disputes over the interpretation of terms. This clause serves as a definitive legal tie-breaker, ensuring that the parties have a clear, unambiguous standard for their rights and obligations. It is a vital component of cross-border agreements in the health and technology sectors.
