Jurídico/Patentes
Derecho: contrato(s)
appeal against insurance company decision not to pay out full amount
The full sentence goes " nunca las clausulas de un contrato van a favorecer a quien pretenda, como la Compañia Aseguradora, tornarlas oscuras Arto. 2503 C desde el punto de vista formal impugnó la consignacion"
This is a Nicaraguan court. The appeal is against the insurance company's decision to pay out only a tenth of the monthly benefit stated in the policy for total incapacity. I do not know what Article 2503 states.
