Abstract:
Under our constitutional settlement, the judges interpret and apply statutes such as to articulate the will of the democratically legitimated Parliament. The article discusses the views of the academic, the judge and the practitioner on how the judges seek to discern the will of Parliament reconciling that with their judicial obligation to serve justice and the principles of legality - the law making dynamic.
