RULE FOR THAT USAGE IN LEGAL WORDS

[kartik1979]

Hi

i read somewhere in some post in other forums about the usage of that or ing in legal nouns used in SC

does it apply to most cases?


"Be sure to use ing form immediately after a legal noun used in objective case

Legal noun are law , ban , order, decree, contract , bill, Deed etc.

example :
GMAT enacted a ban prohibiting takers from posting live questions. "



However, if the legal noun is used as subject of the clause then it might be appropriate to use subjunctive form

The law requires that he perform well in GMAT.

I haven't seen that particular rule before. It seems to make sense as one way to do things, but I don't think it's necessarily the only way.

As a general rule, though, if you have an option that is constructed in this way (and doesn't have any other grammar errors elsewhere of course!), then yes, this is a correct way to construct this type of sentence.
