Download or read book Bennion on Statutory Interpretation written by Oliver Jones and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all practitioners of law, a keen and informed understanding of the meaning and interpretation of legislation is the key to professional success. This supplement is essential reading for everyone who has to administer or advise, argue or adjudicate on Acts of Parliament and Statutory Instruments.Bennion on Statutory Interpretation ("Bennion") was recently described by the Chief Justice of Australia as the "standard English work on the subject". It is undoubtedly widely used by practitioners and academics throughout the common law world. A significant factor in the success of Bennion has not only been its depth and breadth. It has also been the currency of the work. A key plank in ensuring that currency is the production of supplements. Since the Second Edition of Bennion, a First Supplement has been produced, on average, every two years from the publication of the relevant edition. It is necessary to maintain this average by publishing the First Supplement to the Fifth edition of Bennion in 2010. This will ground the ongoing appeal of Bennion, especially for the busy practitioner.The content of the First Supplement will resemble that of its counterparts for earlier editions. It will, therefore, contain modifications of the text of the Fifth edition to reflect:* English cases since the publication of the Fifth edition considering particular passages in Bennion* Other such cases performing statutory interpretation, at the point in the Code of Bennion to which they relate* Subsequent modifications to legislative instruments referred to in the Fifth Edition* Newly released or updated academic commentary referred to in the Fifth editionThe First Supplement will also contain a Replacement Index covering the Fifth edition and the First Supplement.It is anticipated that the ground so covered by the First Supplement will be substantial. English courts are performing statutory interpretation, including by reference to Bennion, on a daily basis. It is inevitable that there will be a large body of case law to consider since the publication of the Fifth edition, which stated the law as at 31 March 2007. Parliament and its delegates have been at least equally prolific in making and amending legislative instruments and this will also need to be scrutinised.There are some readily apparent examples of judicial and legislative developments since the Fifth edition. The House of Lords discussed the use of legislative history, particularly debates in Parliament, under its decision in Pepper v Hart [1993] AC 593, in R v JTB [2009] 2 WLR 1088. In line with the attitude of Bennion to Pepper, Lord Hoffman criticised the consequences of the decision in Chartbrook Ltd v Persimmon Homes Ltd [2009] UKHL 38. On the legislative front, the Companies Act 2006 (UK) has progressively come into force since 2007 and cases concerning its meaning are arising. There may need to be cross-referencing for any provisions of company law referred to in the Fifth edition and now superseded, as well as discussion of the resulting cases.
Download or read book Understanding Common Law Legislation written by F. A. R. Bennion and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2001-10-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries use and apply the common law. The common law world largely operates through statutes enacted by a country's democratic legislature. These statutes are drafted and interpreted according to a uniform system of rules, presumptions, principles and canons evolved over centuries by common law judges. In this book, Francis Bennion distills forty years of his prolific writings on statute law and statutory interpretation to provide valuable guidance on statutory interpretation applicable to all common law jurisdictions.
Download or read book Reading Law written by Antonin Scalia and published by West Publishing Company. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, Scalia and Garner systematically explain all the most important principles of constitutional, statutory, and contractual interpretation in an engaging and informative style with hundreds of illustrations from actual cases. Is a burrito a sandwich? Is a corporation entitled to personal privacy? If you trade a gun for drugs, are you using a gun in a drug transaction? The authors grapple with these and dozens of equally curious questions while explaining the most principled, lucid, and reliable techniques for deriving meaning from authoritative texts. Meanwhile, the book takes up some of the most controversial issues in modern jurisprudence. What, exactly, is textualism? Why is strict construction a bad thing? What is the true doctrine of originalism? And which is more important: the spirit of the law, or the letter? The authors write with a well-argued point of view that is definitive yet nuanced, straightforward yet sophisticated.

Download or read book Constitutionally Conforming Interpretation Comparative Perspectives written by Matthias Klatt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first part of a 2-volume set that presents an in-depth investigation into the canon of constitutionally conforming interpretation. These volumes address the fundamental issues the canon raises in the national, supranational and international contexts. In volume 1, experts from 19 jurisdictions, including Brazil, Canada, India, the UK, and the USA, present reports which give concise overviews of the approaches and debates on constitutionally conforming interpretation. These reports cover the structural background, the conditions of application, as well as issues of competence. Further aspects discussed are its perceived normativity and popularity in everyday legal practice. Together with volume 2, which explores the canon's use and theoretical impact beyond the national context in a comparative and critical manner, this book fills an important gap in legal scholarship and sets the stage for cross-national discourse.
Download or read book The Evolutionary Interpretation of Treaties written by Eirik Bjørge and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If a treaty from the 1850s regulating 'commerce' or forbidding 'degrading treatment of persons' is to be interpreted 150 years later, does 'commerce' or 'degrading treatment of persons' have the same meaning at the time of interpretation as they had when the treaty was agreed? The evolutionary interpretation of treaties has proven one of the most controversial topics in the practice of international law. Indeed, it has been seen as going against the very grain of the law of treaties, and has been argued to be contrary to the intention of the parties, breaching the principle of consent. This book asks what the place of evolutionary interpretation is within the understanding of treaties, at a time when many important international legal instruments are over 50 years old. It sets out to place the evolutionary interpretation of treaties on a firm footing within the general rule of interpretation, as codified in Article 31 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. The book demonstrates that the evolutionary interpretation of treaties - in common with all other types of interpretation such as good faith, the text of the treaty, context, object and purpose - is in fact a based upon an objective understanding of the intention of the parties. In order to marry intention and evolution in this way, the book argues that, on the one hand, evolutionary interpretation is the product of the correct application of Article 31 and, on the other, that Article 31 is geared towards the establishment of the intention of the parties. The evolutionary interpretation of treaties is therefore shown to represent an intended evolution.
