I sometimes think drafting laws badly is a feature not a bug - after all think of all that lucrative legal work for other lawyers.

Not in the case of laws :-(

I know of one infamous Pensions case that dragged on for well over a decade in the UK over some arcane legal arguments.

Of course the longer the case went on the more pensioners died
