EXPLANATION OF DECISION Clause Samples

The "Explanation of Decision" clause requires a party, typically an authority or decision-maker, to provide a written rationale for any decision made under the agreement. This clause ensures that the reasoning behind approvals, denials, or other determinations is clearly communicated to the affected parties, often including reference to relevant facts, criteria, or rules considered. Its core function is to promote transparency and accountability in decision-making, helping parties understand the basis for outcomes and reducing the likelihood of disputes arising from unclear or arbitrary decisions.
