Mr. Ciarán Ó hÓbáin:

At the more practical level, the approach that has been adopted is to be as explicit as possible. Part of the reason the dialogue of this contract has been so extensive is to ensure that one has limited, to the extent one possibly can, the possibility of a dispute arising over the interpretation of what clauses in the contract mean. Once one is into resolving disputes, one has a problem. The focus of the contract, therefore, has been to be detailed and explicit so there is no scope, or limited scope, for such disputes.
