Incorporation By Reference

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Incorporation by reference, means a method of making a secondary document part of a primary document by including in the Primary document a statement that the Secondary document should be treated as if it were contained within the primary one, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 770.

Incorporation by reference, of an earlier statute by a later, judicially stigmatized in Knill v. Towse, (1889) 24 QBD 186. Whether there can ever be incorpora-tion by implication is very doubtful; see per Farwell, LJ, in Chislett v. Macbeth, (1909) 2 KB 815, and Lord Loreburn, LC, Ib., 1910 AC 223. See ACT OF PARLIAMENT.
