Statutory Interpretation Dmang69

Doctrine of statutory interpretation in Canadian and BC law — the modern approach mandated by Rizzo & Rizzo Shoes and reaffirmed in Vavilov (text, context, purpose read together), plain-meaning and purposive analysis, interpretive presumptions (against absurdity, in favour of consistent meaning, against redundancy, against retroactivity, in favour of liberty), interpretive rules (ejusdem generis, expressio unius, noscitur a sociis, generalia specialibus non derogant), extrinsic aids (Hansard, prior enactments, related legislation), bilingual interpretation of federal statutes, and the treatment of statutory definitions and interpretive provisions. ALWAYS trigger when: user is arguing over what a statute means, drafting submissions relying on a statutory provision, encountering an ambiguous provision, dealing with RTA interpretation battles, or asking "what does section X mean". Directly useful for RTA arguments — the RTA is remedial legislation and attracts a purposive, tenant-protective
