In the first part of this article ((2022) 3 JIBFL 192), it was suggested that the basic principles of interpretation are common to all types of legal texts but that the different nature of statutes and contracts means that the application of those principles can differ depending on whether the instrument concerned is a contract or a statute. The first of those differences concerned the identification of the text itself: the text of a statute is easier to establish than the text of a contract.
