Capitalization matters very little in legalese, but punctuation is king.
This is because, unlike with punctuation, capitalization was not (and still is not) consistent across legal documents. Some people/firms use all caps for defined terms; others standard capitalization, and many don't capitalize at all on the grounds that a a defined term is not a proper noun unless it is a person, place, or thing.
- hluska 2y agoIn the article, the author lost half a million over capitalization. Using just that example (because it’s what we’re talking about) explain how it matters very little.
- gamblor956 2y agoNo, the author did not lose any money over capitalization. The author did not understand that capitalization was irrelevant. What was relevant was that the author failed to properly disclosed a "connected person" as defined in the legal agreement. The law he was referencing would have done nothing to address/correct his failure, regardless of the capitalization used.
