A tedious articulation of a pointless contrivance: the “[[without limitation]]” clause.  
{{pe}}A tedious articulation of a pointless contrivance: the “[[without limitation]]” clause.  


See, you don’t need to say “[[without limiting the generality of the foregoing]]...”, because you can just say “[[without limitation]]”, and you don’t need to say “[[without limitation]]...” ''because it carries no semantic content whatsoever''. Unless you have described a limitation one will not be [[Implied term|implied]], either as a matter of basic linguistic construction or, for that matter, [[common law]]. If you ''have'' described a limitation, then what the hell are you doing writing “[[without limitation]]”?
