This guide presents the leading principles that govern how courts interpret statutes, with illustrations drawn from recent decisions to clarify their meaning and scope. It aims to be useful not only to legal practitioners but also to others who regularly encounter statutory language in public life.

The book frames a practical approach to reading laws: starting with a clear look at the text, its context, and how related Acts influence meaning. It also covers how to handle general words, specific objects, and the risk of evasion or abuse, always aiming for fair and coherent results.

See how the structure of an Act, its title, preamble, and schedules shape interpretation.
Explore how other presumptions and related provisions affect meaning and application.
