Schedule An Aid to Interpretation

Schedule Part of Statute : Aid to Interpretation

A schedule in an act is a mere question of drafting, a mere question of words. The schedule is as much a part of the statute, and is as much an enactment, as any other part.[1]" It is necessary to analyze the literal meaning of the definitions which are contained in both the schedule and the body of the Act itself in order to clearly identify all the relevant elements.[2]
