“And” is a fundamental conjunction used in legal language to connect words, phrases, or clauses to express a joint condition, requirement, or consequence. In legal documents, contracts, statutes, and regulations, “and” often serves to establish the conjunctive relationship between multiple elements, indicating that all conditions or criteria connected by “and” must be satisfied for a particular provision to apply. This conjunction is essential for clarifying the simultaneous occurrence or correlation between different components of a legal provision or requirement, ensuring precision and accuracy in legal drafting and interpretation.
