"Undefined words shall be given their natural and ordinary meaning," the law reads, "Without forced or subtle construction that would limit or extend the meaning of the language, except when a contrary intention is clearly manifest."

The clause does exactly what it purports to prevent, and allows what it wants to impose.

Courts ought to knock this one out.
