Strana 95 - That an action will lie for written or oral falsehoods not actionable per se, nor even defamatory, where they are maliciously published, where they are calculated, in the ordinary course of things to produce, and where they do produce, actual damage, is established law.
Strana 282 - Any act done or writing published calculated to bring a Court or a Judge of the Court into contempt, or to lower his authority, is a contempt of Court.
Strana 635 - If the words of the statute are in themselves precise and unambiguous, then no more can be necessary than to expound these words in their natural and ordinary sense. The words themselves alone do, in such case, best declare the intention of the lawgiver.
Strana 551 - August, 1879, a person shall not be entitled to take or use the name or title of 'dentist' (either alone or in combination with any other word or words), or of ' dental practitioner.' or any name, title, addition, or description implying that he is registered under this Act, or that he is a person specially qualified to practise dentistry, unless he is registered under this Act.
Strana 265 - I have for a long time understood that rule to be that the Court has no right to imply in a written contract any such stipulation, unless, on considering the terms of the contract in a reasonable and business manner, an implication necessarily arises that the parties must have intended that the suggested stipulation should exist. It is not enough to say that it would be a reasonable thing to make such an implication. It must be a necessary implication in the sense that I have mentioned.
Strana 283 - Judges and Courts are alike open to criticism and if reasonable argument or expostulation is offered against any judicial act as contrary to Law or the public good, no Court could or would treat that as contempt of Court.
Strana 367 - If reference be had to its use in the common affairs of the world, or in approved authors, we find that it frequently imports no more than that one thing is convenient or useful or essential to another. To employ the means necessary to an end is generally understood as employing any means calculated to produce the end, and not as being confined to those single means, without which the end would be entirely unattainable.
Strana 358 - If what has been done is legislation within the general scope of the affirmative words which give the power and if it violates no express condition or restriction by which that power is limited...
Strana 476 - ... doubt all penal Statutes are to be construed strictly, that is to say, the Court must see that the thing charged as an offence is within the plain meaning of the words used, and must not strain the words on any notion that there has been a slip, that there has been a casu-s omissu-s, that the thing is so clearly within the mischief that it must have been intended to be included and would have been included if thought of.
Strana 333 - Laws imposing taxation shall deal only with the imposition of taxation, and any provision therein dealing with any other matter shall be of no effect.
