Not too wordy is a matter of opinion. While surprisingly well written and readable for a govt pub, I still find it's a little "wall of text" like.
At a meta level, here's what the document itself advises about wordiness:
> Avoid unnecessary words, e.g. the phrase ‘In every case in which particulars are furnished’ (eight words), can be reduced to ‘When particulars are given’ (four words): a phrase such as ‘It should be noted that the obligation to furnish particulars’ (ten words), is no less clear when reduced to ‘The obligation to give particulars’ (five words).
In a modern, plain english style, these might be further chopped down to 'When provided' (two words) and 'Mandatory when' (two words).
