How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
Q1.
Answer the following questions in one or two sentences
Any 6 · 12 Marks
(a)Explain the rule of "Noscitur a Sociis"[2]
Answer
Noscitur a sociis means "a word is known by the company it keeps". Where a word of doubtful meaning stands among other words in a statute, it takes its colour and meaning from those associated words, and is construed in a sense analogous to them rather than in the widest sense it could bear standing alone.
