Definitions are powerful provisions because they control the meaning of terms used throughout a legislative text and, in the absence of a contrary intention, the meaning of terms in all other enactments relating to the same subject-matter.They have a very strong influence on the interpretation of legislative texts. This article examines these impor...
Common meaning of words
Definitions in legislative texts are stipulative; they state what a term is to mean in the text. They are only required if they depart from the commonly understood meaning of the term. Definitions included in legislative texts must never simply reiterate the content of a dictionary or state the obvious. If the meaning of a term is well understood by the intended audience and unambiguous, don't define the term. It is not necessary to define a term simply because it is a technical, scientific o...
Effect of definitions
The Interpretation Act specifies the effect of a definition: 1. 15.(1) Definitions or rules of interpretation in an enactment apply to all the provisions of the enactment, including the provisions that contain those definitions or rules of interpretation. 2. (2) Where an enactment contains an interpretation section or provision, it shall be read and construed 2.1. (a) as being applicable only if a contrary intention does not appear; and 2.2. (b) as being applicable to all other enactments rel...
Role of definitions
There are three reasons to define a term in a legislative text: 1. toavoid uncertainty about the meaning of words by resolving any ambiguity 2. to explain the meaning of words that are new or unusual 3. toshorten the text by reducing repetition Definitions should be used to avoid uncertainty when 1. a word has different meanings and the context does not make it clear which one is intended. 2. a word has no precise or uniform ordinary meaning: 2.1. "flock" means a group of at least 10 birds or...
Delimiting definition
A delimiting definition is exhaustive. It is intended to set limits on the otherwise ordinary meaning of terms. These definitions normally begin with the word "means". Examples: 1. "hire or reward" means any payment, consideration, gratuity or benefit, directly or indirectly charged, demanded, received or collected by any person for the use of an aircraft. 2. "vessel" means a boat, ship or craft designed, used or capable of being used solely or partly for navigation in, on, through or immedia...
Extending definition
An extending definition adds to the ordinary meaning of a term a meaning it does not normally have. These definitions usually begin with the word "includes". This type of definition may be used to broaden the meaning of a term, expressly including elements that would otherwise not normally be included. Examples: 1. "name of the device" includes any information necessary for the user to identify the device and to distinguish it from similar devices. 2. "servant" includes agent. 3. "winning tic...
Narrowing definition
A narrowing definition narrows the ordinary meaning of a term by setting limits or expressly excluding. These definitions normally begin with the word "means" or the words "does not include". Examples: 1. "corporation" does not include a partnership that is considered to be a separate legal entity under provincial law. 2. "elevator" means a grain elevator, warehouse or mill that has been declared by Parliament to be a work for the general advantage of Canada.
Definitions are drafted in the form of "Act" means …, "action" includes …. The defined words are enclosed in "quotation marks" and are not capitalized unless they are capitalized generally. If there is only one definition in the provision, it should be a single sentence: Definitions that apply throughout an Act or regulation should be in a separate...
