The plaintiff entered into an agreement with the defendant to organize a consumer club.
The defendant delivered a notice terminating the agreement, which the plaintiff argued was ineffective based on the renewal terms.
The plaintiff sued for breach of contract and the defendant successfully moved for partial summary judgment.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal found the termination provision ambiguous and held that extrinsic evidence of surrounding circumstances is always admissible to interpret a contract.
The court concluded there was a genuine issue for trial and allowed the appeal.
