Description:
With the clamor, mostly of students, the author decided to publish the 2013 edition of this book. For the past six years, the Supreme Court had promulgated several decisions on the subject of Statutory Construction. New doctrines, such as the exclusion of the Justices of the Supreme Court from the coverage of midnight appointment under Art. VIII, Section 15 of the Philippine Constitution by the outgoing President (Castro vs. JBC, G.R. No. 191002, March 17, 2010, 615 SCRA 666); and the exclusive domain of the Supreme Court to promulgate rules of pleadings, practice and procedure to the exclusion of Congress and the Executive (A.M. No. 08-2-01-0, February 11, 2010, 612 SCRA 193) highlights the new rulings on the subject of construction and interpretation. The entire Chapter XII on recent cases is again replaced to update law students and lawyers on the current rulings on the subject.
The author hopes that this new edition will again gain acceptance and satisfaction of the law students, practitioners, and members of the bench and bar.
