The exception which, in the eyes of a [[legal eagle|diligent clerk]], proves the rule. No rule, no legal proposition, is too complicated that it can’t be made more so by the skilled deployment of a [[carve-out]]. This is an invocation of the [[Fish Principle]]. | |||
Where the [[carve-out]] carves out from an exclusion of liabilty which is ''itself'' a kind of carve-out, we create some kind of ''[[carve-in]]''; an elaborate sculpting of the rock from which we extract our legal relations. The [[carve-out]] thus toys with our traditional notions of [[Space-time continuum|contractual time and space]]. It promises hyper-spatial access to an alternative universe of semantic possibility, within whose parameters one can extend drafting into hitherto un-imagined, immeasurable dimensions, negative spaces, [[double-negative|''double''-negative]] spaces, dark energies — | Carve-outs may go without saying — they usually do — and many can be regarded as a species of [[redundancy]]: of a piece with a “[[without limitation]]” or an “[[for the avoidance of doubt|avoidance of doubt]]”. Yet how playful it can be, when the [[carve-out]] is ''from'' a “[[without limitation]]” or an “[[for the avoidance of doubt|avoidance of doubt]]”! Some are woven from a stouter fibre, whose implied articulation no drafting, however doubtless, could presume. | ||

This is quite exhilarating for the connoisseur. | |||
