Intention should be distinguished from volition, even though courts sometimes use the terms "intentional" and "voluntary" interchangeably. The courts do not have to consider whether conduct is intentional unless there has been a voluntary act committed by the defendant. There can be no intentional conduct without volition, although there can certainly be voluntary conduct which is not intentional.  5, record 1, English, - intention

Il faut distinguer l'intention de la volonté même si les tribunaux considèrent parfois les termes «intentionnellement» et «volontairement» comme des synonymes. Les tribunaux n'ont pas à déterminer si un comportement est intentionnel à moins que le défendeur ait commis un acte volontaire. Il ne peut y avoir de conduite intentionnelle sans volonté, mais on peut certainement trouver des conduites volontaires qui ne sont pas intentionnelles.  2, record 1, French, - intention

The related rules concerning the intention of the parties proceed from the capital principle that it is to the intention of the parties at the time the instrument was concluded, and in particular the meaning attached by them to words and phrases at the time, that primary regard must be paid. Hence, it is legitimate to consider what was the "purpose" or "plan" of the parties in negotiating the treaty. Nor should a treaty be interpreted so as to restrict unduly the rights intended to be protected by it. What must be ascertained is the ostensible intention of the parties, as disclosed in the four corners of the actual text; only in exceptional circumstances is it permissible to investigate other material to discover this intention. Moreover, a special meaning must be given to a particular term, if it is established that the party so intended.  2, record 2, English, - intention
