Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 45.300
Contract Construed as a Whole
The contract should be considered as a whole; no part of it should be ignored. The contract
should be interpreted to give effect to each of its provisions. No word or phrase in a contract
should be treated as meaningless if any meaning which is reasonable and consistent with other
parts of the contract can be given to it.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
