@thwarted, it'd be great if we could use pseudo-code. (One of my colleagues once proposed using flow-charting.)
Unfortunately, many, many lawyers (and clients) are allergic to contract forms that don't look "traditional." I can say with great confidence that the typical reaction to a pseudo-code contract would be "WTF is this?"
- thwarted 15y agoSo it's momentum and fear of change (which plays into a fear of no-one-will-need-a-lawyer-to-decode-this, perhaps). Makes sense, but obviously not ideal. What can we do to change this, if anything?
- Vivtek 15y agoSo clearly you have to compile it into legal English. I don't see a conflict here.
