Abstract
The paper considers the purposes and evolution of Interpretation Acts, including the following points:
• how, as default law, they inform and interact with other legislation;
• their scope as, and interaction with other, interpretation law (including links with interpretation legislation in related jurisdictions);
• ways they can stop being, or fail to be, great law (that is, law that is accessible, fit for purpose, and constitutionally sound);
• ways policy-makers and drafters can meet the challenges (in Te Reo Māori: ngā wero) of making them, and all the other law that interacts with them, great law.
期刊介绍：
The principal objectives of the Review are to provide a vehicle for the consideration of the legislative process, the use of legislation as an instrument of public policy and of the drafting and interpretation of legislation. The Review, which was first established in 1980, is the only journal of its kind within the Commonwealth. It is of particular value to lawyers in both private practice and in public service, and to academics, both lawyers and political scientists, who write and teach within the field of legislation.
