Statutory Interpretation 2nd edition revitalises learning of statutory interpretation as a living, breathing and dynamic tool for understanding and applying the law. The book is specifically designed to engage students with statutory interpretation and equip them with improved skills required for future legal practice. It is structured to align with the length of a typical semester, and in addition to research and analysis of statutory interpretation rules and principles, Statutory Interpretation provides case scenarios and application exercises. Chapter 14 ‘A Synthesis: Practical Skills and Exercises’ has been designed as a consolidating chapter to which readers will repeatedly refer and contains a Statutory Interpretation Index (SII2) synthesising the book’s rules of statutory interpretation, a user-friendly flow diagram summarising statutory interpretation method, a worked example of its application, and a set of four practical exercises.
