/ˈleɪtənt kraɪm/ – Phrase
Definition: sự mập mờ tiềm ẩn (của một văn bản), sự tối nghĩa tiềm ẩn.
A more thorough explanation: A latent ambiguity refers to a situation where the language of a legal document appears clear on its face, but ambiguity arises when applied to the specific circumstances or facts of a case. This type of ambiguity is not immediately apparent and becomes evident only when the document is interpreted in context.
Example: In a contract, a latent ambiguity may arise if the terms are unclear and open to interpretation only after a specific situation occurs.
