Re: Romani ite domum

Another example of sloppy 2007 wording being corrected in 2017 is Law
40A1(b).

2007 Law 40A1(b):
"Each partnership has a duty to make available its partnership
understandings to opponents before commencing play against them. The
Regulating Authority specifies the manner in which this shall be done."

Two problems with this 2007 wording:
(1) Modern methods are mostly multifarious. Therefore it is usually a
practical impossibility to disclose all partnership understandings before
commencing.
(2) In the second sentence the word "shall" is defined by the Introduction
as "a violation will incur a procedural penalty more often than not".

Hence the completely accurate 2017 Law 40A1(b):
"Each partnership has a duty to make available its partnership
understandings to opponents. The Regulating Authority specifies the manner
in which this is done."
