Supposing a crime was committed on 1 Jan, and the case was brought to court on 1 April and in due course the CFA sought an interpretation of the relevant BL article on 1 June, and an Interpretation was given on 1 Sept. If according to the authors there should not be any retrospective effect, it would imply that the Interpretation could not apply to this case which happened on 1 Jan. If so, it would defeat the purpose of seeking the Interpretation. In short, the Interpretation must have retrospective effect.
