Hi Irit ,

We believe it will be feasible to remove these extra spaces without affecting the existing tags and analysis.

Harsh will manually try against a few documents first to confirm, and once he confirms that tags are not affected, I will then write a script and execute it in 2 phases:

• Phase 1: the script will generate a spreadsheet with a list of documents that will be affected. You and Paul will be able to review the list and give it your approval.
• Phase 2: the script will perform a find&replace against all instances found in Phase 1.

Hi Irit ,

Would it be easy for you to find 2-3 documents that have the spacing issues?
Additionally, it would be ideal if these documents have at least one tag where the space issue is found.

For example, say the document is tagged as follows:

Second, relying on Biwater , the Claimant asserts that investment tribunals have repeatedly confirmed that denial of justice is not a requirement for a judicial measure to amount to an expropriation. 1022 For instance, in Rumeli, the tribunal held that “the final decision of Kazakhstan’s Supreme Court affirming the compulsory redemption of the claimant’s shares amounted to unlawful expropriation, even though the decision was made ‘in accordance with due process of law.’” 1023 In Sistem , the tribunal found that the invalidation of a share purchase agreement constituted an expropriation because it had the effect of abrogating the claimant’s ownership rights in a hotel. As noted by the tribunal in Sistem , States are “not immune from liability for this expropriation simply because the state organs that had carried out the expropriation were judicial entities.” 1024

Hi Martin ,

I have checked 2 documents in this task and found that,

1. if tags already made and then will try to remove space then it creates issue. The tag highlighted position is shifted as per the space we removed. if we remove 2 space then the highlighted portion will be shifted 2 position.
2. if we remove the space when tag is not available then it is working fine.
3. if we highlighted whole paragraph rather than excerpt and then if we remove the space then also it working fine.

Only in 1st case the highlight position will be disturb if we remove the space withing tag.

Thanks, Harsh .

Hi Paul and Irit , it looks like we will not be able to remove the spaces by writing a simple script.

We could write a more complex script that:

1. Find instances of incorrect spacing
2. For each document with incorrect spacing:
   1. Lookup each instance of incorrect spacing against the database and determine if the incorrect spacing is within a tag.
      1. If within a tag, correct spacing in document and update the database with the new position of the tag
      2. If not within a tag, correct spacing in document
