8. IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES AND

SUGGESTIONS FOR GOOD DRAFTING=

Be clear.. through the document to any person whohas a knowledge of the subject matter. Preparescheme of facts and contents you propose to deal withthrough a instructions section.

Be satisfied.. as to what the document means to say,does not mean to say and need not say.

Since client may not be as well-versed in law as you

are, be sure as to within what legal framework such asSections, Rules, notifications, if applicable, thedocument is recognized and operates.


14/43

Be unambiguous..void a situation where youare thinking that you are saying one thing butreally saying more than one.

Be self-explanatory.. through the document

Have separate documents... !ocumentswhich are completely distinct or applicable rulesof law differ

Use schedules... "n respect of matters which

are factual such as description of property, listof assets, etc. which may make the documentotherwise comple#, but cannot be dispensedwith.


15/43

Be logical... So that the risk of omission and repetitionis minimized.

Use words in the same sense... "f in a specificconte#t, meaning changes, use the word phrase$unless e#pressed otherwise or repugnant to theconte#t or meaning thereof%.

Avoid passive voice... &nless in particular conte#t, itmakes the meaning more clear, active voice bepreferred.

Comply with incidental mandatory requirements...such as stamping of documents, registration, vetting,etc.


16/43

Avoid self-complacencyunilateralism... be prepared for vetting,review without necessarily accepting casual and unconte#tualsuggestions.

'larity as to the bare minimum contents you re(uire for protectingand safeguarding your interest has to be adhered to.

!espect precedent and forms... without converting yourself into a

mechanical follower, so that allegations like $non-application of mind%or $cut and paste% technologist can be avoided.

Historical context... )hen documents are supplemental, be sureabout what the principal document says and what is intended to be

dealt with in supplemental documents.


17/43

"n respect of documents having trans-

border effect... be sure as to law of

which country will be applicable andensure its compliance.

#refer a Chapter of definitions... )henfew words are often repeated throughout

the document, it is advisable to have in

initial part a chapter giving definitions ofthose words.


18/43

"n respect of corporate bodies...

)hen they are a party to the documents, takeadditional care of the special provisions applicable tosuch party. *hus, for e.g.,

+i a public limited company has restrictions us. /0 of'ompanies ct for borrowing.

+ii a public trust cannot mortgage or lease without prior

permission of 'harity 'ommissioner.+iii a society has to follow its by-laws,

+iv 1overnment has to e#ecute the document through aperson authorized by the governorPresident or under

departmental rules.
