If a dispute involves text messages, emails, or online conversations, how much importance can be given to the context of an abbreviation used by one of the parties? For example, PMO meaning in texting can vary depending on the conversation and may have different informal interpretations.
Could ambiguity in an abbreviation become relevant when determining what a person actually intended to communicate, particularly if the message is being relied upon as evidence? I’m interested in the general legal principles around interpreting unclear digital communications in Australia.
