EXTRA-TERRITORIAL LEGISLATION

Authors

  • HERBERT A SMITH

Abstract

No statute can ever be effective except in so far as the judicial and executive organs of the community can enforce it. If courts were guided by principle the question of extra-territorial legislation would never present difficulties. The arguments presented here support the view that all Dominion and Colonial legislatures have the same general power of extra-territorial legislation as is possessed by the Imperial Parliament.
