§ 1067 Grant Limitation Clarity Rule

• •A clear, specific rule takes priority over vague language.
• •If a limitation is clearly stated, it cannot be overridden by less clear words.
• •When reading a grant, focus on the most precise statements.

A grant says you must pay back the money within 30 days, but another part says you might get more time if needed.

Because the 30‑day rule is clear and specific, you have to pay back within 30 days even though the other part sounds flexible.
