The JC’s practical guide for legal eagles on how to respond to requests to help fill out due diligence questionnaires:

Choose any ONE (1) of the following answers:

EITHER

“That is a matter of legal interpretation and not an appropriate subject for a due diligence questionnaire. If the client wants to know this, they should ask their lawyers.”

OR

“That is a matter of fact. I am a lawyer. I have trained for many years precisely to avoid questions like this. I neither know nor care about “facts”. I exist on a higher jurisprudential plane. Go and ask someone in operations.”
