This book discusses the impact vague
legislation has on powers, duties and rights in the policy around immigration,
homelessness and anti-discrimination. It assesses how Parliament has attempted
to clarify its intent with law on human rights, freedom of information and
equality. It argues that changes to legislative language, especially the
increasing use of vague semantic and pragmatic parts of speech, has increased
the vagueness of policy and made it lack any central tendency.
