 The role of far-side pragmatics is illustrated by the master implicature of every legislative act: it is never said in legislation, but there is always an implicature, that the rights and duties and powers established by the legislation are to be legal rights and duties and powers, under the law of the jurisdiction for which the enactment is made (see Endicott 2014, 55). Very many other more particular lawyers’ presumptions serve as maxims of the pragmatics of lawmaking (such as the presumption that a new enactment overrides a contrary previous enactment).
