This morning I remembered fragments from a project or campaign ran many years ago by EKI about using a clear language in contracts and legal documents. It was called “selge dokumendikeel” if I remember correctly. When searching for it, I discovered “plain language”:

• https://centerforplainlanguage.org/learning-training/five-steps-plain-language/

• https://www.plainlanguage.gov/about/definitions/

• https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selge_keele_liikumine

• https://www.clarity-international.org/

• https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/write/legal-docs/clear-writing.html

• https://www.canada.ca/en/financial-consumer-agency/services/industry/commissioner-guidance/guidance-3.html

Especially the page Minimize definitions of the Federal plain language guidelines was an important inspiration!
