Like if you have an email where the party stated a contract interpretation that was against their own interest?
Otherwise there’s course of business (if the parties repeatedly carried on business in a certain way, that’s what they probably meant the contract to mean).
If you have the redlines and they show a particular term was proposed and rejected, that might be persuasive.
I would argue it to a judge. Depending on the whole contract, they might still have an argument the language was superfluous, as other clauses in the contract sufficiently cover this scenario. E.g., if it was “belt and suspenders” language.
