Basically for my exam I was told I will have to interpret a statutory extract,but I wasnt told exactly how I am meant to do this.
The statute is chapter 19 of the criminal appeal act 1968 .

I think it may give you a small problem question, and by using the Act, see what the legal response is.

No its multiple choice . We were told in that point of that section was to reward preparation. also in the practice paper some of the questions asked included what some words meant .

So in that Act, look for the 'Interpretation' sub section.
They will have the definitions for the words used in the Act.
What other things did they say?

Thats it. I have checked west law and some bits of the acts have side notes, do I have to make note if those to in my annotation?

I would at least read them over.
But memorise the definitions in the Interpretation section for sure.

The annotation helps in the statutory interpretation.

yes it is just a short copy of the act

For sure, learn the Westlaw annotations for the given sections of the Act, so 1,2,3, 3A, 7.
See if there any major cases that link to those sections.
Learn them.

You can't take annotated copies of the statute. You can only annotate those three cases.

Yes I have looked at definitions. Also on west law there are annotations on conditions for example in S.3(1) where it says convicted of an offence, if the offence of which the defendant has been convicted does not exist,this section cannot be used to substitute a verdict of guilty on another offence;see r v abdul 2012. Is this important?
