Lastly, as regards the interpretation of the contract where it concerned the specific features that the machine in question was required to have, the Court held that the aim of article 8.1 of CISG in introducing the rule or subjective criterion of interpretation was to discern the real intent of a contracting party — without going so far as a psychological investigation — so that, if the terms of the contract were clear, there was an obligation to abide by the literal meaning, without either party being able to claim that its unstated wishes should prevail.
