520			_aConsiders how the courts approach the doctrine of the admissible matrix of fact in the interpretation of contracts. "Investors Compensation Scheme Ltd v West Bromwich Building Society" (HL, X84874) laid down five principles by which contractual documents are to be construed. Principles one and two focus on the matrix of fact, principle three sets a limit on the admissible matrix of fact and principles four and five serve as guidance as to when a court might depart from the natural meaning of words. The article focuses on how "P and S Platt Ltd v Crouch" ([2003] EWCA Civ 110, X124185) applies principle three in holding that pre-contract negotiations were not admissible in a case involving the Law of Property Act 1925 s62.
