<br> how many is too many?
I have a terms and conditions page on a site, which has about 800 words and therefore a lot of spacing to make it look nice.
Trouble is I have 50 to make the nice spacing everywhere
is this ok?
Or should I be using a css p class
which will take longer typing out all those p class="" for the single breaks, double breaks and treble breaks
any other method for spacing text on a page?

Possibly if you provided a piece of code it would be easier to see what you mean, but on most terms and conditions pages I have seen, there are headers, subheaders, and then text, which could translate to something like , , and tags which could be styled in three different ways in CSS.
Maybe your page is coded in a different way.

It sounds like these should be paragraphs not line breaks. I think line breaks should only be used as a last resort, when you just need a line break and there is no other semantic mark-up that would work better.
I don't see why you would need a class on these paragraphs. Use your CSS to style all paragraphs the same. If there are other paragraphs on the page, wrap your terms and conditions in a div, give it an ID, and style all the paragraphs inside that id.
Once you've got your paragraphs in, you can use margins, padding, and line-height in your CSS to space them nicely.
