Influenced by the British legal system, the Indian drafting, of legislation or otherwise, is also a product of its time and generally retains the more formal, complex, and sometimes the archaic tone. The Victorian touch is quite evident in many pieces of the legislation. Archaic phrases and peppered with liberal dose of jargons, sentences can be long and convoluted. However, the Plain English campaigners in the UK were somewhat influential in getting the legal profession or at least the draftsmen, to recognise the importance of clear and concise communication in legal documents, and therefore, the use of plain simple English.
