Questão jurídica principal
Whether the parties had a proven actual agreement that certain excavation-related items were included in the agreed reimbursement deduction
Decisão extraída
No proven actual common intention was established; the contract had to be interpreted according to reliance principles, and the deduction was not justified.
Fundamentação extraída
The court found the written wording and surrounding circumstances more consistent with the respondent's account, and the appellant's alleged mistake was not convincing. The deceased counterparty could no longer be heard, so the alleged subjective consensus was not proven.
