Davis v. Davis
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
Judgment unanimously modified on the law and as modified affirmed with costs to defendant in accordance with the following Memorandum: We agree with the conclusion of the IAS Court that the antenuptial agreement executed by the parties on February 17, 1977 is fairly susceptible of more than one reasonable construction (see, Stedman Energy v Lenape Resources Corp., 175 AD2d 646, 647). Having determined that the agreement is ambiguous, we construe its language against plaintiff, the party who prepared it (see, Dimino v Dimino, 91 AD2d 1185; see generally, 22 NY Jur 2d, Contracts, § 228, at 76)…
