“Each party must not” - grammatically correct? [closed]

I know that the above phrase is commonly used in legal documents, but I’ve been told that the above phrase is grammatically incorrect or clunky. What do you think? If so, how would you change it?

Thanks!

Solution 1:

This sentence is grammatically correct but does sound a little bit clunky. It's not essential to change it, but if you wanted to you could say "Neither party shall" (if there's two parties) or "The parties must not". I think the issue is the "Each" at the start which makes it sound clunky. Either way, the original sentence is still grammatically correct and formal. Hope this helps!
