Length of a contract limited or not?
<p>Is there any limit to the length of a contract ? Can someone sign a 10000 page long contract that would basically take years to interpret with some repeating but relevant clauses .
Example : a contract has clause 1 refer to clause 89 which refers to clause 10000</p>

<h2>There are many contracts that are well over 10,000 pages</h2>
<p>For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>mining contracts - the environmental impact statement alone is likely to be of the order of 10,000 pages.</li>
<li>privatised prisons - it takes a lot of pages to set out the expectations of the government on things like prisoner welfare</li>
<li>defence contracts - aircraft carriers are complex pieces of machinery; 10,000 pages would barely scratch the surface</li>
</ul>
<p>These do take years to interpret, but they are interpreted by teams of hundreds, sometimes thousands of lawyers and engineers, so while they take several person-years they may take less than one actual year. Of course, these sorts of contracts may spend years in the negotiation phase as well.</p>
