Expectations of the parties cannot change rules of law
It all depends. In some areas
of law, reasonable expectations have no normative persuasive
power. But to a
large part, in contract law, which is (almost) all about
affecting the
contracting parties’ will, a starting point that “Expectations
of
the parties cannot change rules of law” makes very little sense.
