To my eye, it looks like a sloppy piece of bureaucratic writing.  It is
confusing and unless read carefully, it creates the wrong impression.

I don't think the author is being intentionally duplicitous, but he is
mixing Corpora with seneschallate interpretation without clearly defining
the boundaries.  His comments could be misinterpreted as a sanctioned open
season on "those objectionable people over there.  Applied improperly, these
rules could exacerbate the problems they are supposed to address.
