Review of Bennion on Statutory Interpretation

The '31 daily texts' used on the Home Page of the website are extracts from reviews of FB's major work STATUTORY INTERPRETATION. ‘It is an immensely valuable work of reference which eclipses earlier books on statutory interpretation’ - Public Law ‘It is as invaluable to any serious law library as was its predecessor . . . It is essentially a work of reference but anyone will learn something of value just by dipping in’ - Law Quarterly Review ‘Statutory interpretation will never be the same again’ – Professor Sir David Williams ‘It is, in this reviewer’s opinion, one of the most significant and fascinating legal works to be published in the United Kingdom in recent years’ - Northern Ireland Legal Quarterly ‘Generally this book is comprehensive and useful for different users - the practitioner and the judge, the academic and the lawyerlegislator’ - Legal Studies ‘Mr Bennion’s breadth of learning and incisiveness of reasoning have produced a work which should be a bench mark for the future construction of statutes’ - Justice of the Peace ‘All government and local government public sector in-house lawyers, all chambers and every serious firm of solicitors will want a copy. For the workaholic, this book can be read with amusement on a beach during the summer holidays’- New Law Journal ‘It aims to be comprehensive rather than selective. Thus the practitioner searching for an authority in support of a particular proposition of law on statutory interpretation will often strike gold in the pages of Bennion’ - Beverley Lang ‘. . . a timely and very special contribution by Mr Bennion, who is undoubtedly one of the specialists in this, still vexed, area of law’ - Commonwealth Law Bulletin ‘This is institutional writing of a high order, and one of those indispensable, indispensable books’ - Alec Samuels ‘This is a mighty tome . . . this great work’ - Irish Law Times ‘This new and remarkable book is a significant contribution to an area of law which is - in part because of Francis Bennion’s persistence - rapidly improving in academic and professional recognition’ - Cambridge Law Journal ‘Comparisons are odious, but Bennion’s scholarship makes Craies and Maxwell, the two conventionally famous authorities on statutory interpretation, almost unworthy of reading in comparison’ - The Tribune (India) ‘A classic is born’ - Solicitors Journal ‘He has produced a code, contained in 396 propositions. . . massive, full of history, learning, wide reading, displaying a profound knowledge of our case law and statute law’ - New Law Journal ‘The text depends upon several key organising principles to which, like a well-crafted statute, the narrative cross-refers each time they are used . . . This is a weighty book, both literally and metaphorically, and contains much to admire’ - Public Law ‘Enough praise cannot be showered on you for your classic publication’ - Faizool Mohammed, Barrister and Legislative Draftsman, Bahamas ‘It is a treasure trove of useful references to decided cases and academic articles on every topic which it covers’ - Beverley Lang ‘From the time the book landed in my hands, I knew my practice would never be the same again!’ - Bu-Buakei Jabbi, Sierra Leone ‘This . . . has come to be regarded as the leading textbook in its field’ - Justice of the Peace ‘The first edition of Bennion’s Statutory Interpretation was a unique, pioneering work of scholarship. The second edition has the same enviable characteristics’ - Law Quarterly Review ‘This book is now in its third edition of 1,000 pages. The erudition of Francis Bennion is manifest. His book is a delight from start to finish’ - New Law Journal ‘It substitutes for the conventional categories a series of derived principles and propositions which make it possible often to crack a problem of interpretation by approaching it laterally’- Lord Justice Sedley ‘ . . the book retains its unique place as a well from which all concerned with statutory interpretation must regularly quaff’- Professor W A Wilson ‘ . . the most highly respected and up to date work on statutory interpretation available in the common law world’- The Tribune (India) ‘Sure, there are other works which deal with the subject in an exemplary manner . . . but none are as detailed or as thorough as Bennion . . . the value of this work cannot be overstated’ - Justice of the Peace ‘Statutory Interpretation rapidly achieved in Australia (and has maintained) pre-eminence as the preferred exposition and discussion of what might be called Common Law Statutory Interpretation’ - Brett Walker SC, President New South Wales Bar Association ‘. . . the majority of reported cases are concerned with points of statutory interpretation. Of the several books designed to clarify the principles of this vital art, Bennion, in my opinion, is the best by a long stretch’ - Roderick Munday, Fellow of Peterhouse Cambridge ‘I find this book quite invaluable’ - Professor John Tiley, President of the Society of Public Teachers of Law (now the Society of Legal Scholars) ‘This book will undoubtedly become the standard work on statutory construction and deserves to be widely read by lawyers not only because of the importance of its subject but because of its intellectual clarity and vigour’ - Northern Ireland Legal Quarterly ‘. . . every set of barrister’s chambers and every solicitor’s practice would be wise to invest in a copy, as well as a multitude of government departments, university and polytechnic libraries, together with the legislators themselves’ - Justice of the Peace .
