Negatives, negatives, everywhere
Without wishing to be overly negative[1], this one truly comes from the "wow" file in indefensible drafting:
- ... other than a tax which would not be imposed but for...
Not only a triple negative, but since the squad’s definition of {{{{{1}}}|Tax}} already contains a negative (being any tax that isn’t a {{{{{1}}}|Stamp Tax}}) and “{{{{{1}}}|Indemnifiable Tax}}” is itself often used in the negative (e.g. “a tax which is not an {{{{{1}}}|Indemnifiable Tax}}”) — or even double negative (e.g. “other than a tax which is not an {{{{{1}}}|Indemnifiable Tax}}”) in the body of the ISDA Master Agreement. That makes it a sextuple negative. Beat that ISLA.
Now: as we know, HAL 9000 is coming to a legal workspace near you and will soon deliver us from these noisome legal curlicues.[2] The JC fed this language into the “OpenAI” text generator, and asked for a summary that a second grader (in old money, an eight-year-old) could understand and, well, the outcome is impressive:
{{{{{1}}}|Indemnifiable Tax}} is a kind of tax that is different from other taxes. It is a tax that is only imposed when someone is connected to the country or state that imposes the tax. This connection could be because the person is from the country, does business there, or has gotten money from there.
