There is an aphorism attributed to Lord Diplock, who many years ago said, the absence of clarity is destructive of the rule of law.

Right, exactly.

And what we have instead is that though we have various rights to the citizen, it could be freedom of speech, it could be the right to information, because the way we speak, the way we disseminate information is not democratic.

It does not allow access to everyone.

The access is very selective because of the way the language is built.

By its very structure, the language inhibits access.

So if there is a statute or a law, let's say the Rent Act.

Ultimately, no matter which way you slice it or dice it, it comes back for all writers to the reader.
