How can drafters of English law contracts use language to insulate their contracts from the risk of an embarrassing and expensive dispute?This book aims to answer that question. It helps drafters to be clear at every level: to reflect a logical structure, to make clear how provisions work coherently alongside one another, and to make the intended meaning of the contract language so clear that no party could be tempted to argue that it means something else. Besides illustrating technical drafting techniques, the book prompts drafters to peer into an essentially unknowable future, so that their contracts operate resiliently if the unexpected happens. It is rooted in a study of how judges analyse language in the waves of contract dispute cases that reach the courts every year.The book answers questions such as:- What are the most common drafting traps and how can drafters avoid falling into them?- How can drafters eliminate uncertainties as to how different provisions work together, so that the contract works coherently as a whole?- What questions should drafters ask themselves to make sure their contracts cover all the ground they need to?The book distils the modern case law, and the rules of English grammar, into a checklist of recommendations for the busy practising drafter.This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional’s Company and Commercial Law online service.
