It could be difficult to determine the main purpose of the contract in a way that helps resolve the ambiguity. Of course, it is true that the main purpose was to sell "chickens" but that statement of the purpose hardly helps resolve the ambiguity.
Imagine that Chickens R Us testifies that it thought the main purpose was to sell tough, old boilers; it concedes that the price is higher than normal, but it claims it just thought it got a good deal. Suppose that Chicken Shack, Inc. testifies that it thought the main purpose of the contract was to sell young, tender chickens, and that it has no use for tough, old chickens.
True or False - If a court cannot determine the main purpose of the contract, it cannot apply the Hypothetical Intent Test.
