Summary:Drafting Legislation sets out to prove Sir William Dale's doctrine that the rules for drafting good quality legislation are the same in common and civil systems of law. The book discusses the general issue of quality in legislation from the legislative process to the actual drafting interpretation and enforcement, as well as issues of clarity, precision and disambiguity, plain language and gender-neutral language.
