United States First Circuit
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY, INC. v. ST. PAUL FIRE & MARINE INS. CO., 01-1133
Although "and" might, in rare circumstances, be construed to mean "or," according to Black's Law Dictionary 86 (6th ed. 1990), the use of the word "and" in a contract does not render the contract ambiguous.
