The resulting \"unified theory\" of statutory interpretation ties prevailing interpretive theories to specific patterns of language frequently found in legislation and offers both theoretical and practical reasons for deploying each theory where the relevant patterns of language arise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart II of the book focuses on traditional interpretive tools -- rules and maxims of statutory interpretation as well as specific canons that arise in the context of tax statutes and criminal law -- fitting them into the meta-theory developed in Part I and demonstrating how each tool has been (and ought to be) used by courts in Canada and abroad. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFilled with real-world examples, analyses of controversial cases, student exercises and problems for discussion, the book is a highly useful casebook for courses in statutory interpretation as well as a valuable scholarly resource for anyone interested in interpretive theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ECW Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770418837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.40d","brand":"Graham Randal Nm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52715605786805,"sku":"9781770418837","price":127.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/graham-on-statutory-interpretation-9781770418837","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
