Abstract:
When the Statutes are ambiguous and not clearly stated, ambiguity results. Legal scholars and judges will be the ones interpreting the ambiguity that has been raised. The art of interpretation involves giving a law's terms their ordinary, natural meaning in order to ascertain its true meaning. It is the process of figuring out what a law's actual wording means. Since the Court is not expected to interpret in an unstructured manner, some norms have developed from the courts' ongoing practise. This article begins by discussing the legality principle and how statutes should be interpreted in accordance with the fundamental laws of the land. It then analyses the various types and natures of ambiguities in the statutes and discusses approaches and solutions for resolving those ambiguities. Lastly, it talks about how the judiciary's interpretation of the statutes is limited because every judge has a distinct understanding of the statute.
