There has been much talk about simplifying the languagethat goes into contractsthatwould better enable consumers to understand the terms and conditions of the agreements to which they ascribe,andaccordingly be more secure in knowing their contractualrightsand obligations.

As such, should there be statelegislationrequiring such clarity, including arecommendationregarding the relianceupon standardizedlanguagewhere appropriate?

Do you believe,in doingso, the governmentby legislativeactivity,may be oversteppingitsboundsand even considered to be interferingin thefreedomof contract ?
