Abstract

[Extract] Very few decisions of the High Court of Australia in recent decades have exposed the complement of the court to such variant fundamental views on the methodology of constitutional interpretation than the February 2020 decision of Love/Thoms v Commonwealth. Seven judges wrote seven judgments, the matter decided by a bare majority.
