| Summary |
"Cross: Statutory Interpretation" is a concise, systematic introduction to the general principles of statutory interpretation. This new edition provides a comprehensive analysis of the contemporary approach of English courts to the interpretation of statutes. The latest case law developments are incorporated, most importantly Pepper v Hart which has necessitated extensive changes throughout the text. This edition explores the increasing importance of developments in European law, both in EC law and its implementation in domestic law and the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights. The text also incorporates analysis of the latest significant jurisprudential literature, as well as a review of statutory drafting which contrasts the drafting of EC legislation with that of domestic law |
