Description
The book on Statutory Construction authored by Judge Noli C. Diaz, one of the distinguished professors at the College of Law of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (University of the City of Manila) is an excellent guide on the construction and interpretation of statutes and contracts burdened with obscurity, insufficiency and conflicting provisions. It will be useful not only for the law students, legal researchers, lawyers and judges but also for laymen who are deeply concerned with the efficient and effective administration of justice.
Since the revision of this book in May 2013, hundreds of decisions dealing on the subject of Statutory Construction were promulgated by the Supreme Court, most of which were reiteration of established doctrines. The author deem it wise to place these important new cases on this edition. Chapter XII of this book highlights the new rulings as it replaces all the previous cases contained in that chapter.
