You may wish to mediate the circumstances in which one can withhold consent, and this bromide is the legal eagle’s favourite tool for doing so, skirting so close to a split infinitive as it does (is it just to be, in which case you’re okay, or it it a passive infinitive to be withheld, in which case you’re not?)
You may wish to mediate the circumstances in which one can withhold consent, and this bromide is the legal eagle’s favourite tool for doing so, skirting so close to a [[split infinitive]] as it does (is it just “to be”, in which case you’re okay, or it it a passive infinitive “to be withheld”, in which case you’re not? Does the [[split infinitive]] rule, which isn’t a rule, even apply to passive infinitives?)


When can one withhold one’s consent? When your watchword is “[[noli mentula esse]]”.
