Evidence of peculiar meaning is admissible where documentary language is plain on its face but unmeaning when applied to existing facts. Extrinsic evidence may establish that the words were used in a peculiar sense and identify the intended subject matter. Where a deed refers to a house in a place where the transferor owns none, evidence of ownership of a house elsewhere and the transferee's possession may show that the deed concerned that other house.

Plain language in a document, where it accurately applies to existing facts, cannot be contradicted by evidence alleging a different intended application. A deed identifying an estate by its location and stated extent cannot be varied through evidence suggesting that another estate at a different place and of a different size was intended.

For fiscally transparent UK partnerships, Indian-source receipts must be allocated and tested according to each partner's residence and treaty entitlement. India-UK treaty residence applies only to income taxed in the United Kingdom as income of a UK resident. Non-UK resident partners may require examination under India's treaty with their own residence State. Domestic fees-for-technical-services characterisation does not replace treaty analysis, particularly for legal and professional services. Treaty claims require residence certificates, prescribed information, and factual examination of applicable income articles, fixed-base or permanent-establishment tests, and other taxing conditions.

Section 93 excludes evidence of facts intended to explain the meaning of a written instrument where its language is, on its face, ambiguous or defective. The prohibition prevents oral or other extrinsic evidence from identifying an intended meaning or curing an apparent defect. It applies where an agreement states alternative prices without indicating the applicable price and where a deed contains unfilled blanks.

Section 92 excludes oral evidence between parties to a written contract, grant, disposition, or matter required to be in writing when it is offered to contradict, vary, add to, or subtract from proved written terms. Exceptions permit proof of invalidating facts, consistent collateral oral agreements on matters left silent, conditions precedent, permissible subsequent oral modifications or rescission, consistent trade usage, and facts connecting the language of the writing with existing facts.
