<h1>Legal meaning of 'purport' differs from 'tenor' - refers to apparent substance and effect of documents</h1> The term 'purport' in legal context refers to the substantial meaning, substance, or legal effect of an instrument as it appears on its face. It differs from 'tenor,' which means an exact copy. When an instrument 'purports' to be something, it resembles that thing more or less accurately based on its face value. The word 'purported' implies something may be deficient or not as intended. Legal dictionaries define purport as what an instrument intends to show or what is apparent to any reader, representing the design, tendency, meaning, or import of the document's content.
