wo·as / (h)we(ə)rˈaz/ • conj. contrary to or compared to the fact that: You treat the issue lightly, while I myself have never been so serious. ∎ (especially in legal preambles) taking into account that. 3. Also understand that the title of an agreement, as well as section or paragraph headings, also make little or no sense. I often revise an agreement called the “Agreement on Inventions” and find that it is not about inventions at all, but for example about non-competition or reimbursement of training subsidies if the worker ever leaves his employer. The titles just don`t mean anything. Finally, it is often used in official proclamations to project the solemnity of the occasion. These four reflections on the terms “whereas clauses”, “decreed” and “whereas” in agreements can avoid much grief. Think of them and refuse to be deceived by lawyers who can tell you otherwise. Do everything you can to help yourself and be an “educated consumer” when it comes to lawyers and legal services. You can do it for yourself, yourself and represents great value without risk. And don`t be afraid or hesitate to seek paid legal advice if necessary.
Protecting yourself, through education and effort: that`s what Sklover Working Wisdom™ is all about. This is particularly the case when the “recital clause” refers either to another document or to something that has happened in the past. We also explained to Mario that Sheldon had not agreed anywhere else – neither in this agreement nor in any other – to give him half of the company. So, as one judge would probably say, “Where did Sheldon promise this?” 4. Legal advice usually costs much less than litigation. While I am an advocate for people who try to use lawyers as little as possible and only when needed, any agreement that is important to you should be reviewed by a lawyer experienced in these matters. For example, do not use an immigration lawyer for a patent application. And remember that “favors” from neighbors or friends who are lawyers are often worth less than they cost.
Court orders usually use clauses before the clause or clauses containing court instructions. For example, a court could state that “although the applicant has filed a motion to compel the production of certain documents, and in view of the fact that the court has held a hearing on the application and has fully deliberated on the matter, it is now hereby ordered that the application to compel the production of the requested documents be hereby dismissed.” The result: Mario hired another law firm and continued a very unpleasant process in which Mario didn`t really have good arguments. Although it was eventually settled, legal fees made the settlement even more undone. Mario never recovered from being betrayed by the legal language of his agreements, financial or otherwise. The term has been criticized as an overused legal formalism that overloads contracts and other legal documents. Legal formalism means the particular uses of legal language, many of which are archaic and the frills of a long-dead style. 2. Keep in mind that the wording of “recital clauses” is not universally binding. No matter what someone tells you, the wording of “clauses while” or similar introductory paragraphs is not binding. Do not accept words in such clauses as proof that you have received what you have negotiated. This is simply not the case.
While a court can look at the words in the “recitals” and perhaps even take the position that the words have meaning, who should go to court first? Placing wording in the “whereas” to deceive non-lawyers into believing they received a promise when they did not is a common legal trick. And now that you know, don`t fall victim to it. The use of “clauses” to make a false proposition or the intentional exercise of a legal right or interest, when that right or interest is not given anywhere else (not in this document or in any other), is the trick of an old lawyer. Be sure of it. While I can`t suggest exact words or phrases to insert or pay attention to, look for the difference between “the parties intend” or “somewhere else they agreed” and emphasize simple language like “Sheldon promises Mario” or “Sheldon hereby gives Mario.” Perhaps even better, consider the wisdom of paid legal advice in matters of importance that are “legal” in nature. In law, the term while is also used as an introductory word to a recital in a formal document. A recital contains introductory words to a treaty, law, proclamation or other document. In a contract, a time clause is an introductory statement that means “consider” or “it is”. The clause explains the reasons for the performance of the contract and, in some cases, describes its purpose. The while clause can be correctly used in the interpretation of the contract. However, this is not an essential element of its operational arrangements.

When placed at the beginning of a bill, it means “because” and is followed by a declaration for the passage of a law. The term while is used in the law in two ways. It comes from Middle English and can mean “on the contrary”, because in the sentence, orange juice can say “freshly squeezed” while the contents were made from orange juice concentrate.
