Taken for granted, overlooked and generally not read very carefully are provisions ensconced with the moniker “miscellaneous.” I would argue that while they are viewed as the “second fiddle” of legal provisions contained in many documents, they are actually the “first string” in terms of importance. While many provisions in legal documents can trace their lineage to case law and decisions of note, the miscellaneous provisions in documents are all derived from years and years of case law and precedent and should be afforded the care and precision they deserve.
