This is typical of the sum total of the positive statement of the law you find in a legal opinion: | |||
{{Box| | {{Box|''({{f|Subject always}} to the qualifications, assumptions and caveats set on pages 4-85,)'' This agreement is valid, binding and enforceable<ref>''Subject, {{f|for the avoidance of doubt}}, to the qualifications, assumptions and caveats set on pages 4-85</ref> in accordance with its terms.}} | ||
Which is a lawyer’s way of saying [[Brexit means Brexit]]. Should the agreement your solicitor has prepared for you make no sense whatsoever — if it is plainly impossible for an ordinary Englishman to divine the merchants’ commercial consensus no matter how carefully he examines the text — then your opinion does no more than verify that sorry state of affairs. | |||
