A question to contract drafters out there.
When drafting a template clause for a clause library, you would sometimes have a version that is drafted in the interest of one of the parties or in the interest of both parties.
I wonder what is the best way to approach this when populating a clause library within ClauseBase. For example:
- Do you create and have separate clauses to address each situation and then maybe set these clauses as alternatives (this of course creates a number of similar clauses within the library)?
- Do you create separate paragraphs within the same clause and make them conditional ? Something along the lines of the following (this gets not very convenient if you want different things for different clauses):
1. {#contract^acting-for-buyer: Some clause drafted in the interest of the buyer.} 2. {#contract^acting-for-seller: Some clause drafted in the interest of the seller.} 3. {#contract^acting-for-both: Some neutral clause.}
- Or do you use some other magic trick?
Would be interesting to know how any of you approaches this (and whether you are happy with your approach) before making the decision myself.
Maybe ClauseBase folks have some recommendations as well.
