Transformation--based systems for general E-unification were first investigated by Gallier and Snyder. Their system extends the well--known rules for syntactic unification by Lazy Paramodulation, thus coping with the equational theory. More recently, Dougherty and Johann improved on this method by giving a restriction of the Lazy Paramodulation inferences. In this paper, we show that their system can be further improved by a stronger restriction on the applicability of Lazy Paramodulation. It turns out that the framework of proof transformations provides an elegant and natural means for proving completeness of the inference system.
