Contract terms can be express or implied. But what does that mean? I argue that the distinction can be illuminated by reference to the philosophy of language. Express terms are best understood by reference to the truth-conditional content of the parties’ agreement; implied terms are derived from express terms by a process of reasoning, albeit one aimed at establishing the parties’ commitments.
