Malaysian Litigation Series - Statutory Interpretation in Malaysia
Malaysian Litigation Series - Statutory Interpretation in Malaysia
2023-2-25A. A. b. H. Basri | J. A. B. Jais | N. A. K. N. Mahmod
Quote from Foreword
 
“This book is a timely and useful addition to the legal literature on statutory interpretation as it provides insight into the development of statutory interpretation in Malaysian courts, particularly on constitutional matters.”
 
– From the Foreword by
Tun Tengku Maimun binti Tuan Mat
Chief Justice of Malaysia
 
About the Book
 
Statutory interpretation is an important subject in the study and application of the law. Knowing the rules and the application of the rules are important for legal practitioners, judges, academics and law students. There are words in the statute that have specific meaning and specific legal implications. It is essential to understand the way those words or sentences are used and the way they are to be applied. Given the importance of this subject, it it timely that this book provides a detailed look at it from the Malaysian perspective.
 
Written by a team of authors with experience in the judiciary, the Attorney General’s Chambers, legal practice and academia, this book provides a diversified yet insightful view on this subject in Malaysia. It covers the principles of interpretation at common law as applied by Malaysian judges. Thorough consideration is focused on the interpretation of the Federal Constitution which raises key issues in many cases argued in Malaysian courts. As the Federal Constitution is the supreme law of Malaysia, the rules of interpretation have been carefully applied by judges to preserve, protect and defend it.
 
The application of the Interpretation Acts 1948 and 1967, in particular the introduction of purposive interpretation by way of section 17A of that Act, is given close consideration with comparison made to the approaches taken by the courts in other jurisdictions. Some illustrative cases of the application of selected provisions of the Act are discussed.
 
Further invaluable analysis of statutory interpretation covers extrinsic and intrinsic aids to interpretation as well as the application of presumptions. The status and application of the Malay language in Malaysian legislation are critically studied especially in situations where the Malay and English language texts may produce different interpretations. Rounding up the book, drafting conventions and expressions are looked at with the view of providing pointers on how legislation is drafted, best practice, and explanations on key elements of a statute.
 
This publication should be welcomed by lawyers, judges, judicial officers, inhouse counsel, draftspersons, academics and students for its comprehensive coverage of the law on statutory interpretation in Malaysia.
 
Key Features:
 
  • First comprehensive treatment of statutory interpretation in Malaysia
  • Careful analysis and discussion of important local case law
  • Extensive practical knowledge of authors of the subject matter
  • Analytical discussion of common law rules in the local context
  • Ample citation of case authorities and legislative sources

Blanke on Uae Arbitration Legislation & Rules; a Multi-Volume Article-By-Article Commentary; Volume 1; Second Edition
2021-12-20Dr. Blanke
Blanke on UAE Arbitration Legislation & Rules is the successor title to Commentary on the UAE Arbitration Chapter published in March 2017. It has been conceived and designed as a multi-volume work that is intended to grow into a comprehensive title on the core UAE arbitration legislation and rules over years to come. This Volume 1 focuses on the UAE's onshore arbitration legislation whereas future volumes will deal with the UAE free zone arbitration laws, i.e. the 2008 DIFC Arbitration Law and 2015 ADGM Arbitration Regulations, as well as the leading on-and offshore sets of arbitration rules. As such, this is first and only, full English-language commentary on the UAE's onshore arbitration legislation today.
The work is divided into a total of three parts. Part I provides a general introduction to arbitration in the UAE. Part II updates the article-by-article commentary on the former UAE Arbitration Chapter that formed the core of the first edition of this work. Part III provides an article-by-article commentary of the provision of the 2018 UAE Federal Arbitration Law and Council Decision No. 57/2018, which establishes a new, expedited regime for the recognition and enforecment of foreign arbitral awards in the UAE. 
Having been authored by one of the leading authorities on arbitration in the UAE, Blanke on UAE Arbitration Legislation and Rules will provide indespensable guidance to both counsel and arbitrators in their daily UAE arbitration practice apart from being a unique reference for anyone involved in the subject.

"[The oversight of executive functions is an] important role of the Parliament, in particular the Dewan Rakyat, ... not much appreciated. It is hoped that the publication of this book will remedy that." 

From the Foreword by Tan Sri Zaharah Ibrahim, former Chief Judge of Malaya

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the six decades as an independent nation, Malaysia has developed its own Parliamentary procedures, processes, conventions and practices. This book aims to be a comprehensive reference for parliamentaries, parliamentary officers, civil servants, serious scholars and researchers, and the general reader with a keen interest in parliamentary affairs. The contributors and editors have consciously chosen to analyse not only the laws of Parliament, but also the practices and the underlying principles underpining these laws and practices. The clear explanations and examples provided in this book are undoubtedly useful for the reader to understand each rule and practice better.

In keeping with the intent and scope of this book, its writing has included the necessary inputs and insights of a large pool of specialist contributors beyond the immediate walls of Parliament. Besides the Speaker, the Clerk of the Dewan Rakyat, senior officers in the Clerk's Office, research officers and officers in the Speaker's Office, the contributors also include legal practitioners, members of academia, a politician and the Chairman of Elections Commission of Malaysia. 

It is a collective insight, each chapter providing a specialised perspective which hopefully will make the book more relevant and useful to a broad range of readers.
