ABSTRACT

Where a section or a subsection is unduly long, it is better broken up into paragraphs. The device of paragraphing helps the readability of the sentence and when appropriately used avoids ambiguity. Paragraphs ensure precision and therefore help in understanding the legislative sentence. A paragraph, like its parent section or subsection, should not be excessively long. It should be a unit of thought when read with the introductory words and with the concluding words.
