Heading: Ambiguities Construed Against the Drafter

Text: The Sagalyns make an argument for construing any ambiguity against the drafter, the Foundation. See Arnold, supra note 9, 651 A.2d at 797. ([A] deed will be resolved against the drafter of the instrument.). They recognize, however, that [this] principle applies only after the ordinary rules of construction have been applied and the agreement is still ambiguous. See Lee, supra, 345 A.2d at 463 (citing 17 Am.Jur.2d Contracts § 276 (1964)); Intercounty, supra, 443 A.2d at 32. Here, the ambiguity is resolved by reference to other rules of construction as previously discussed. Therefore, we need not apply this rule.
