Question 2
Please read the following fictitious scenario and answer all parts of each question.
The (fictitious) Prevention of Cruelty to Pets Act 2018 states in section 5 that: ‘Dogs must be carried on escalators.’
An excerpt from Hansard shows that, during the Second Reading of the Prevention of Cruelty to Pets Bill, the Minister for Animal Health and Well-Being had said, referring to what would become section 5 of the Act: ‘It is no longer tolerable that, in our so-called civilised society, individuals are permitted to subject creatures with paws to the risk of painful entrapment of their limbs on moving staircases. I urge the House to support this provision.’
Section 28 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Pets Act 2018, which is headed ‘Definitions’, states: ‘Where the context so requires, “dogs” should be interpreted as including dogs, cats and other animals that are commonly kept as pets and permitted to roam at large within their owners’ homes’.
Explain, with reasons, the likely outcome if each of the four rules of statutory interpretation were applied to each of the following people:
a.Alfonso, who is travelling on an escalator with a rabbit on a lead. The rabbit is standing on the step above Alfonso.
b.Melody, who is travelling on an escalator with a Chihuahua in her designer handbag. The handbag is balanced on top of a suitcase that is standing on the step below Melody. Melody is lightly supporting the suitcase with her hand so that it will not fall over if the escalator jerks.
