Subject outline
This unit will consider how the (constitutional, statutory and common law) principles of statutory interpretation are applied to protect and promote human rights. In order to do so the unit will: Examine the core principles and values of statutory interpretation and the relevant judicial role in a system with a strong doctrine of separated powers. Identify the legal sources of human rights and how this impacts upon the manner in which judicial interpretation is capable of their protection. Explore the increasingly important interaction between the Australian constitution and the principles and values of statutory interpretation; and. Consider the extent to which the interpretive practices of other comparable legal systems might inform our own and understand how key human rights instruments and approaches affect existing interpretive techniques.
