With legislation, Acts and legislative instruments becoming longer and more complex, judicial approaches to their interpretation continue to evolve. Statutory interpretation is not only a core skill, but a crucial and practical skill for all practitioners, directly impacting the understanding of your client's matter, quality of submissions and the outcomes of cases.  

Our presenter will outline the recent trends and current approaches to statutory interpretation, with reference to recent case law, including:  

  • Reading statutory text the right way – why does it matter in your work; 
  • Statutory construction – statutory meaning vs ordinary meaning; 
  • What to do and what to avoid; 
  • Some tips for persuading a court or tribunal to adopt your contended construction; 
  • Recent cases from the High Court – text, context and purpose.
