of equitable remedies with statutory regimes illustrates equity\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s vitality and versatility. In this article, we examine the availability of subrogation in relation to securities over Torrens land and PPSA security interests and how subrogation may apply in a way which is consistent with each of these regimes. The analysis also demonstrates differences in the operation of subrogation in relation to Torrens land and personal property.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To purchase this article, complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/subscribe-or-purchase\/individual-article-sale\/\">Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1F7Y7sE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Interpreting statutes and contracts: A distinction without a difference?<\/a><\/em><\/strong><strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>Jacinta Dharmananda and Leon Firios<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The intuition felt by many legal practitioners is that the process of interpreting statutes is somehow different to the approach taken to interpreting private agreements. In a paper delivered over a decade ago, then Justice Michael Kirby of the High Court of Australia noted the dearth of comparative analysis of the two disciplines, and went on to sketch what he perceived to be the similarities and differences. This article takes up Justice Kirby\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cause and explores the extent to which contractual interpretation and statutory interpretation really do differ. On closer inspection it seems that there is, in fact, little difference of major significance. The article concludes with some reflections on the variables at play in interpretation beyond the nature of the instrument being interpreted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To purchase this article, complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/subscribe-or-purchase\/individual-article-sale\/\">Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1KkFPVr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BOOK REVIEWS<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Editor: Angelina Gomez<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><em>Asian Courts in Context <\/em>by Ed Jiunn-Rong Yeh and Wen-Chen Chang<\/li>\n<li><em>The Construction and Performance of Commercial Contracts <\/em>by S A Christensen and W D Duncan<\/li>\n<li><em>Voidable Transactions in Company Insolvency <\/em>by Farid Assaf, Brett Shields and Hilary Kincaid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1O9NRTR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OBITUARY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>John Toohey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the pdf version of the table of contents, click here: <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/09\/ALJ-Vol-89-No-8-Contents.pdf\">ALJ Vol 89 No 8 Contents<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westlaw.com.au\/maf\/api\/tocLocatorVM?ndd=1&amp;qlink-label=No+8%2C+2015&amp;stid=std-anz-tocbrowse&amp;originates-from-link=false&amp;ao=o.AUNZ_AU_JOURNALS_TOC%7C%7CIca412bb9461e11e5b664a25c9d4f5872&amp;ntocview=Ica412bb9461e11e5b664a25c9d4f5872&amp;dsu=AUNZ_AU_JLLAWJRL&amp;sortid=Citation&amp;tocguid=AUNZ_AU_JOURNALS_TOC%7C%7CIca412bb9461e11e5b664a25c9d4f5872&amp;searchds=AUNZ_SEARCHALL&amp;productAO=AUNZ_TOC%7C%7CanzjourAUlawjournal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to access this Part on Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest Part of the Australian Law Journal includes the following articles: &#8220;Faulty refinancing: Subrogation, Torrens and the PPSA&#8221; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Hon W M C Gummow AC and J G H Stumbles; and &#8220;Interpreting statutes and contracts: A distinction without a difference?&#8221; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Jacinta Dharmananda and Leon Firios.
