enlarging statute

enlarging statute
A statute is a remedial statute, according to Blackstone (1 Bl Comm 86), which supplies defects, and abridges superfluities, in the former law. This is done by enlarging or restraining the former law, and these remedial statutes are therefore called enlarging or restraining statutes, depending on whether they supply or abridge. 50 Am J1st Stat § 15.
