Strongly worded criticisim...

A commentator's perspective on some statutory drafting:

"A person engages in [resale price maintenance] when and where they do any one of a number of defined acts in s 37(3). Section 37 is horrendous.

Of course these are competition law specialists talking so their perspective on complicatedness and incomprehensibility can either be regarded as:
a) supremely valid; or
b) somewhat ironic
