    This document outlines rules for construing ambiguous legal instruments. It states that if a sum is expressed in both words and figures but the amounts differ, the words will determine the sum payable. However, if the words are ambiguous, the figures may be referenced instead. It also says if there are omissions in an instrument, they should be construed in a way that gives effect to all parts of the instrument.

    Sec. 17. Construction where instrument is ambiguous.

    - Where the
    language of the instrument is ambiguous or there are omissions
    therein, the following rules of construction apply:
    (a) Where the sum payable is expressed in words and also in figures
    and there is a discrepancy between the two, the sum denoted by the
    words is the sum payable; but if the words are ambiguous or
    uncertain, reference may be had to the figures to fix the amount;
