Attributing Personal Liability to Drafters: A Doctrinal Incompatibility
This piece critiques the Supreme Court's novel proposal to hold lawyers personally liable for ambiguous contract clauses, arguing that while the intent to curb pathological arbitration is sound, the Court's reliance on suo motu powers is misplaced and unworkable. The authors expose a critical regulatory gap: India's legal framework, designed for litigators, entirely overlooks transactional lawyers. They propose a new, tailored regulatory regime to govern drafting conduct, arguing that reform, not judicial fiat, is the true path to contractual clarity.
