Given the volume of legislation produced by Australian parliaments each year, is legal practise bereft of the common law? Indeed, the High Court's 'Malaysian Solution' Case, Plaintiff M70/2011 and Momcilovic case, illustrate the real world importance and complexity of legislation and statutory interpretation. This twilight seminar will adopt a practical perspective focussing on three important areas of statutory interpretation; judicial approaches to the legislative text; recent changes to Interpretation Acts and the reality of advising clients and crafting statutory arguments for litigation.
