consensus ad idem

Where it comes from

Borrowed from New Latin consensus ad idem (“agreement to the same thing”). In English, first attested in 1864.

noun

uncountable Agreement about the terms and subject matter of a contract between all involved parties. From my reading, the courts originally decided in Lynn's favour because the two parties did not have "consensus ad idem." That is that there wasn't a common understanding.
Similar: meeting of the minds
