On Friday 25 February 2022, Russell Kennedy hosted its fourth Government CPD session, Giving statutory interpretation advice – identifying options. This session is worth 1 CPD Point in Professional Skills.
This session was aimed at all government lawyers seeking to finesse their statutory interpretation skills.
Using the modern approach to statutory interpretation, this session explored how the courts have approached identifying and weighing various options for the legal meaning of statutory provisions.
This session also explored how to identify when provisions are open to various constructions of meaning and when there are various constructions how to determine the preferred meaning and apply it to your clients’ problems.
Emma Turner, Principal and Beatrisa Dubinsky, Lawyer from the Russell Kennedy Public Law team also discussed courts’ approaches to choosing the preferred legal meaning where various interpretations are available.
