1 Nouns and articles

Legal English is noun-heavy. Convert verbs to nouns only when you must ("the termination of the agreement" is weaker than "the parties terminated the agreement"). Countability controls the article: a contract (countable), evidence (uncountable), information (uncountable — "an information" is wrong, "a piece of information" is right). The definite article signals something already identified: "the buyer must inspect the goods" refers to goods already defined in the contract.
