“Legislative drafting is a difficult art. It is the art of expressing in concise and clear language the ideas of other people. It is difficult enough to express one’s own ideas. It is much more difficult to express other people’s ideas. The difficulty is all the greater when there is a doubt about the person whose ideas one is required to express.
Accordingly, the draftsman considered his task as one for a superman. Not that draftsmen are infallible persons who never make mistakes. They do often make mistakes for which no one but they can be blamed. More so when the task is a thankless one. A draftsman rarely gets credit for a good draft, while is often blamed for a bad one.
