CLERK’S NOTES ON USE OF THIS INSTRUMENT

This is where the Book stops being passive and starts becoming procedural pressure.

Critical drafting rule:

do not be vague.

Each fault must be:

dateable,

describable,

document-supported,

individually answerable.


The recipient must feel they were given a real chance.

That makes later default far stronger.
