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 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.

Book excerpt: Nelson's Statutory Interpretation aspires both to train students in the techniques of statutory interpretation and to help students think systematically about those techniques. It presents lightly edited judicial opinions in leading cases, followed by extensive notes and questions that encourage careful analysis of difficult concepts. It takes seriously both "textualist" and "intentionalist" (or "purposivist") modes of statutory interpretation ; approaches that are common at all levels of the judiciary.

Download or read book The Evolutionary Interpretation of Treaties written by Eirik Bjorge and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If an old treaty regulating 'commerce' or forbidding 'degrading treatment of persons' is to be interpreted decades after its conclusion, does 'commerce' or 'degrading treatment of persons' have the same meaning at the time of interpretation as they had when the treaty was concluded? 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 five decades old. It sets out to place the evolutionary interpretation of treaties on a firm footing within the Vienna rules of interpretation, as codified in Articles 3133 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. The book demonstrates that the evolutionary interpretation of treatiesin common with all other types of interpretationis in fact based upon an objective understanding of the intention of the parties. In order to marry intention and evolution, the book argues that, on the one hand, evolutionary interpretation is the product of the correct application of Articles 3133 and, on the other, that Articles 3133 are geared towards the objective establishment of the intention of the parties. The evolutionary interpretation of treaties is therefore shown to represent an intended evolution.

Download or read book The Invisible Constitution in Comparative Perspective written by Rosalind Dixon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constitutions worldwide inevitably have 'invisible' features: they have silences and lacunae, unwritten or conventional underpinnings, and social and political dimensions not apparent to certain observers. The Invisible Constitution in Comparative Perspective helps us understand these dimensions to contemporary constitutions, and their role in the interpretation, legitimacy and stability of different constitutional systems. This volume provides a nuanced theoretical discussion of the idea of 'invisibility' in a constitutional context, and its relationship to more traditional understandings of written versus unwritten constitutionalism. Containing a rich array of case studies, including discussions of constitutional practice in Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Indonesia, Ireland and Malaysia, this book will look at how this aspect of 'invisible constitutions' is manifested across different jurisdictions.
Download or read book The Law of Compulsory Purchase and Compensation written by Michael Barnes KC and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 746 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a statement of the current law of compulsory purchase of land and compensation for that purchase. It covers all major aspects of the procedure for the compulsory acquisition of land and deals in full detail with all aspects of the law of compensation for such an acquisition. The many and diverse statutory provisions are organised into a series of chapters containing all principles and rules and there is a full analysis and explanation of the leading authorities on the subject and the principles derived from those authorities without which the subject cannot be understood. The aim of the book is, not only to explain the statutory provisions and to organise the various possible claims for compensation into different heads, but also to explain and analyse the substantial body of case law which has built up, particularly in recent years, and the relationship between that body of law and the underlying statutory provisions. The book also attempts to explain the purpose of the statutory provisions and the reason for the rules that are derived from the authorities. Chapters of the book are devoted to the procedure for formulating and pursuing a claim for compensation and to the valuation principles which must be applied in advancing claims. An Appendix is provided by Mr Nicholas Eden FRICS, a leading valuer in the field, which contains examples of different types of compensation valuation with annotations as to how the valuations are prepared and built up. A further aim of the book is to provide, where possible, practical advice to public authorities and landowners involved in the process of compulsory purchase and compensation as well as to explain the legal principles.
