Principles of Statutory Interpretation
Ravindran (2011) explains statutory interpretation as the procedure of rending and enforcing legislation, the interpretation of the statutory is always necessary when it involves a statute. Some of the interpretations of a statute are easier for some magistrates, but sometimes the statute may be uncertain and unclear and therefore the magistrate must be able to solve where they feel it is not clear. Magistrates might use different means to interpret the statute depending on the structure of the statute, sometimes it may based on the purpose, the legislation or the traditional settings of a statute. There are various ways that may be used by a magistrate to interpret the statutory law. Riches and Allen (2011) suggest that a magistrate can use a practical approach towards the interpretation of the statute.
