Commentary on provisions of Act Section 30: Interpretation of agreements
This section recognises in domestic law the principles, themselves a reflection of customary international law practice, contained in COMPROV.13 in the TCA.
	COMPROV.13 provides that the provisions of the TCA and any supplementing agreements shall be interpreted in good faith in accordance with their ordinary meaning in their context, in light of the object and purpose of the agreement in accordance with customary rules of interpretation of public international law, including those codified in the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties.
	There is no obligation to interpret the provisions of the TCA, or any supplementing agreement, in line with the domestic law of either party. An interpretation of the Agreements by the courts of either party will not bind the courts of the other Party. Therefore, UK courts are not bound by any interpretation of these Agreements by the Court of Justice of the European Union.
