Yet, here we find ourselves confronting this paragraph, we presume from the pen of one who holds some kind of legal qualification:
+:“Each party must take a steps, execute all documents and do everything reasonably required on its part to give full effect to this agreement....”
-:'''[[Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, Q.C.]]''' ''(for it is he)'': If it pleases your honour, the agreement says the defendant has to sign it. But she hasn’t.
+Which just begs, doesn't it, for projection into the dusty volumes of the {{jclr}}.
-:'''Lord Justice [[Cocklecarrot M.R.]]''': Hasn’t what?
-:'''[[Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, Q.C.]]''': Signed it.

-:'''Lord Justice [[Cocklecarrot M.R.]]''' ''(waving a piece of paper)'': Oh! ''This'' document?
+:'''{{cmr}}''': Signed what?
-:'''[[Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, Q.C.]]''': Why, yes sir! That exact one!
+:'''{{jbm}}''': The agreement, M’Lud.
