The followi11g explanatio11 of tl1 e Etl1iopia11 Calendar is give11 for tl1ose who 111ay be confused hy the occasional 11se of Ethiopia11 Cale11dar dates in the English text of laws. The Etl1iopia11 Cale11dar (E.C.) co11tai11s twelve mo11ths of thjrty days each follo\ved by 011 e n1onth of five days (six days i11 Leap Years). T.l1e first day of the year is Meskerem 1, which falls 011 September 11 of the Gregorian Calendar (G.C.), except i11 tl1 e year follo,vi11g an Etl1iopia11 Cale11dar Leap Year, ,vhen it falls on September 12 G.C. Between Meskeren1 I E.C. and tl1 e end of the Gregorian Calendar year, tl1e year according to the Gregoria11 Cale.ndar. Th11s, a date in November 1971 G.C. is a date in 1964 E.C. Starting witl1 January 1 G.C., the year according to the Etl1iopia11 Cale11dar is eigL1t years behind the year accordi11g to the Gregorian Cale11dar. Every fo11rtl1 year is a Le�p Year in the Ethiopian Calendar. The extra day (Pagume 6) is added at the end of each year preceding a year whose n11mber is divi sible by fo11r. Th11s the years 1959 E.C. and ·1963 E.C. were Leap Years. The extra day falls on Septen1ber 11 G.C. of the year preceding each Gregorian Calendar Leap Year. Th11s, the extra days in 1959 a11d 1963 E.C. were September 11, 1967 and 1971, respectively. The res11lt of this variation is to alter by one day tl1e normal eq11ivalences between Ethiopia11 and Gregorian cale11dars, 11ntil the Gregorian Calendar catches 11p by addi11g a day on the subseque11t February 29.

APPENDIX II Implied Repeals and Amendments in the Consolidated Laws

Tl1e first task of the lawyer seekjng to apply tl1e law to a known set of facts is to detem1ine wl1�t legal provision applies. Upon searching the statute books, however, he n1ay find more than one provision which seems to apply. After a complete search, he n1ay find that the statute do not contai11 an explicit repeal of any of these apparently applicable provisions. In that case, if two or more of tl1e provisions command inconsistent results, the lawyer will have to give effect to one of them, leaving the others ineffective. This result can only occur when the l�gislator has made a mistake: he l1as performed a useless act by enacting an ineffective provision, or be has rendered a former act of bis ineffective without explicitly stating that he has done so. Lawyers and judges of all nations dislike such a result, because it contradicts a basic principle of stat�tory interpretation-the principle that the legislator is assumed to act rationally a.nd with full knowledge of the relevant facts. Failure to follow this principle will leave the statute-interpreting judge or lawyer at sea without a compass. If he does not presume informe.d' rationality as the basis for statutory interpretation, he will not l1ave any consistent basis for resolving ambiguities and inconsistencies i n the law. Each individual judge and administrator will be left free to follow his own predilections, and the citizen will the·refore be left without any guidance as to his rights and responsibilities. Therefore, the lawyer confronted with two or more provisions of law which appea.r to govern the same set of facts must adopt the principle of positive inter pretation (assuming none of the provisions has been explicitly repealed): he must attempt to find a reasonable interpretation of tl1e provisions which will render them all effective. 1 The same principle is found in Article 1737 of the Civil Code of 1960, where it is applied to interpretation of contracts: ''Provisions capable of two meani ngs shall be given a meaning to render them effective rather than a meaning which would render them ineffective." There are, however, instances where the premise that the legislator intended all of his acts to be effective is so clearly inapplicable that the application of the principle of positive interpretation would in fact be the height of irrationality. The principle of positive interpretation and the need f©r caution in its applica tjon may be illustrated by the following hypothetical example. The legislator might impose a tax on sales of land, req1uiring the seller to pay $1.00 per gasha (about 2 1 /2 hecta.nes). Some years later the legislat0r might pass another law, without _ any refrence to the first law, prescribing a tax on all land sales, ameuntdng to $1.00 per gasha ''to be paid by the buyer."

the buyer? Application of the principle of positive interpretation wo�ld avoid tl1is problem by concludi.I1g that the legislator inte11ded two taxes to be paid, $1.00 each by the seller and the buyer. Tl1us, both laws would be given effect. Some considera tion of tl1is example, however, sho,ws tl1e need for caution in applying the principle. It might well appear from tl1e rest of the language in the second law, or from the legislative history, that the legislator passing tl1e second law intended to set forth the only tax to be levied on sales of land and . that his failure to explicitly repeal the first law was inadvertent. In such a case, application of the principle of posi tive interpretation . would be unreasonable. Rather, the judge or lawyer would probably say that the legislator had repealed the earlier tax b)' in'l/Jlication. If the inco.nsistency between the two provisions was less complete, so that giving effect to the later provision would only require limiting tl1e earlier provision or making an exception to it, rather than rendering it totally ineffective, the earlier provision would be said to be i11'lpliedly a1ne11ded by tl1e later provision. Ethiopian statutory law contains a s11bstanial 11umber of examples of such inconsistent legal provisions to which t11e principle of positive interpretation cannot be applied rationally and fruitfully. 'fhe primary reaso11 for this state of affairs is Ethiopia's adoption between 1957 and 1965 of comprehensive codes covering most areas of the law but containing little specific direction concerning their effects on earlier legisla.tion. The diffic11lty posed by the immense bulk of new law wa.s compounded by the difficulty of finding relevant prior legal provisions, a difficulty which arose from the lack of a11y codified o,r consolidated statutes. Although so1ne of the code drafters prepared drafts of legislation to repeal or amend prior inconsiste11t provisions, none of these drafts was passed by Parliament. As a result, there are inconsistencies between code provisions and provisions in earlier laws. Most of the problems which have come to light in the preparation of the Consolidated Laws arise from the adoption of tl1e Penal Code of 1957. Before the the adoption of this Code, Ethiopia l1ad numerous statutes which defined offences and prescribed punishments for their con1mission. Tl1e obscu.re wording of the Penal Code provisions describing the effect of tl1at Code on the earlier legislation, bas made it difficult to determine tl1e relationsl1i p between the Code an.d tl1e earlier penal provisions. Because the Consolidated Laws are ir1tended to include only the text of the laws as currently in effect, an atten1pt l1a.s been made to elirnin.ate all provisions of law which have been impliedly repealed and to 1nake the appropriate change i11 2 n. n e be have legislatio 'impliedly amended by subsequent · all provisions which This Appendix will explair1 tl1e general pri11ciples that J1ave bee11 follo,Red in the Consolidated Laws, in determining i111plied repeals and a111e 11drne11ts, and tl1e appli� cation of those principles to the peculiar problems posed by the Penal C(1de of 1957 . •

GENERA f., PRINCil>LES �s tl1 � prece ?ing disct1ssion st1ggests, tl1e person who fii1ds two statt1tory prov1s1o�s 1n co11f�ct s �ot1ld t1sually aPLJly tl1e n1ore-rece11tly-enacted one and treat tl1e earlier_ 011e as 1n1pl1edly a1nended or repealed. Tl1is pri11ciple - - tl1at t11e later law prevails over tl1e earl1er - - is followed i11 botl1 con11non law and ci,1.il law systems.3 It is gen�rally believecl tl1at a legislator, being 111ade aware of the conflict of 111s la�s, woulcl want tl1e n1ore recent expressio11 of l1is will to two between _ prevail. Moreover, a legislator always l1as power to amend or repeal his ow11 prior enact1ne11ts, wl1ereas he cannot bi11cl l1i1nself for the future by prohibiti11g future ame �dme _nts or repeals of a law. (He coulcl always repeal tl1e law whicl1 purported to bind 111m.) Therefore, tl1e ]ater law must be given effect; it could not be annullecJ by tl1e ea.rlier. Tl1ere is one ge11erally recog11ized exce1Jtio11 to this principle: it is generally held tl1at a specific provision n1ust prevail over a ge11eral provisio11.4 Tltis is really an application of the principle of positive interpretation, for it renders one law (the specific ) con1pletely effective, and 011ly partially limits tl1e effect of tl1e other (the general), by carvi11g out an exception to it. Tl1us, for instance, to vary our previot1s hypothetical example, the earlier la.w n1ight provide tl1at sellers of land in Shoa Province shall pay all taxes imposed 011 the sale, wl1ile tl1e later law might provide generally, for tl1e entire En1pire, tl1at btiyers of lat1d shall pay all taxes imposed t1pon tl1e sale thereof. Application of tl1e principle tl1at the specific prevails over the general would lead the lawyer to co11clude tl1at land sales taxes in Shoa Province should be paid by tl1e sellers, wl1ereas tl1ey should be paid by the buyers in the rest of tl1e Emoire. Again, however, as has been suggested with regard to the overall principle of positive interpretation, cauti.on must be t1sed in the application of the principle that the specific prevails over the general. It might well appear from the legislative l1istory and the circl1mstances surrondin.g the enactment of the later law tl1at the legislator intended it to have uniform application throughout tl1e Empire and that his failure to repeal the earlier law explicitly was simply the result of inadvertence. In that case, it wot1ld frustrate tl1e will of the legislator to contin11e to apply a special rt1le for Shoa Province. Ratl1er, the earlier law should be considered to be impliedly repealecl. In1p1ied repeal is particula.rly appropriate in this example because application of tl1e principle that tl1e specific prevails over the general would lead to an ineqt1ality of treat1nent within tl1e Empire that does not appear to be justified by any reasons of policy. Without such policy reasons, Articles 37 and 38 of the Revised Constit11tion of 1955, as well as universal principles of jt1stice, require that all citizens_ be treated equally.5 This desire for unifomlity and consistency, wl1ich must be balanced against the principle t11at the specific prevails over tl1e general, weighs especially heavily where the later, general law is a code. H.I.M. Haile Selassie I stated the general ratio n· ale of codification as follows i11 His Preface to the Civil Code of 1960; It is esse11tial t11at the law be clear a11d intelligible to each and every citizen of our Empire, so that he may without diffi�t1lty ascer� ain what are his rights and dl1ties in tl1e ordinary c? urse of life .... It 1s equally _ _ important that a Law which embraces a varied and diverse �� bJect matter, _ as is the case with the Civil Code, form a consistent and uruf1ed whole ... -v-

TJ 1is rationale, which applies to all codes, dictates that exceptions ,vhicl1 would be tJ1e result of giving effect to earlier specific provisions, in derogation of the ge11eral princiJJles in tl1e cod.es, be carved out only wJ1en tl1ey are clearly justified by policy and wl1e11 tl1e code itself provides for tl1em. The effect of the rationale of codification t1po11 the principle of positive interpretation is eve11 deeper. �fhe princi1Jle of posit;ve interpretation stresses tl1 e effort to make two laws consistent even if that requires stretching the mea11ing of 011e of tl1em. The rationale of codification, however, stresses the consistency anli u11 ity of tl1e code itself. It forbids tl1e interpreter fro1n stretching the meaning of any of the code's provision in order to adapt to some earlier law, for such stretch ing might well impair or even destroy tl1e unity and consistency witl1in the code itself. Furthermo·re, the code's silence on a particular subject does not necessarily leave a gap intended to allow provisions of earlier law to continue in effect. A code is by its nature intend.ed to regulate its entire subject matter. Unless the legislator l1as clearly manifested a co11trary intent, a code's silence on a subject within its scope 1nust be interpreted to leave tl1at subject unregulated and to repeal earlier laws tJ1ereon just as effectively as if the code contained positive provisions regulat i11g it. Tl1us, for in .stance, the omission of certain conduct from the prohibitions of a pe11al code sl1ould be interpreted to n1ake that conduct legal, even if it was pro11ibited by an earlier law, unless the legislator clearly provided in tl1e penal code tl1at tl1e earlier law should be continued i11 effect. ''The enactn1ent of a [systematic and con1prehensive] Code operates to repeal all prior laws upon the same subject n1 a tter ... '' 7 THE PENAL CODE OF 1957 As a result of tl1e reasoning described above, the determination of tl1e effect of tl1e Penal Code of 1957 is approached from tl1e premise that this code must l1ave been intended to repeal all earlier provisions of law whicl1 come within its scope unless the legislator l1as provided otherwise. Tl1e following pages examine t11e legislator's pronouncements on this subiect at1d state the rules that have been applied, on the basis of the above-stated premise and tl1 ose pronouncen1ents. for determining tl1e implied repeals and amendme11ts effected by tl1e Pe11al Code 011 tl1e laws included in t11e Co11solidated Laws.

So111e light is sl1ed on tJ1e n1eani.ng of tl1is phrase by r�ference to tl1e A1nl1aric a11d tl1e original French texts9 of Article 310_ Tl1e An1hartc �ords correspond.i.11g to ''police reg11 lations'' actually mean "petty offence regulations'' ancl are consiste11tly 11sed witJ1 tl1at meani. 1 1g i11 tl1e title of tl1e Code of Petty Offences and th.rougl1out tl1e Penal Code.

Ratl1er, bot]1 texts use ,vords n1ean1ng ''special laws'' witho11t a11y qualifying phrase. Tl1ese words a1 1cl tl1e . words n1ea11ing ''petty offence regulations'' or ''police provisio11s'' are dual s11 bJects of tl1e verb ''are not affected." Botl1 subjects togetl1er are modified by a clause meaniJ1g. ''wl1icl1 are supplen1ental to tl1e general criminal law'' in An1haric or "completing penal legislation'' in Fre11 cl1 . Tl111s tl1e n1ea11ing of t11e first part of Article 3 is best expressed i11 English as follows: Petty offe11ce regt1latio 1 1s ancl special laws which are supplen1ental to tl1e-general criminal law are not affected by this Code. '

This reading makes clear that Article 3 peresrves 011ly those special provisions tl1 at st1pplement the Penal Code, rat]1er tl1an provisions which overlap wit11 it. Thus, for instance, earlier provisions whicl1 provide for offences substantially similar to offences defined by t]1e Penal Code a.re not saved by Article 3. 11 On the otl1er hand, the laws w]1ich are not to be affected by the Penal Code are those regu]atio11s which create wl1at -in western jurisp1 1 rdence are ofte·n referred to as regulatory offences, quasi-crimes, civil offences or pt1blic welfare offences. 12 In Ethiopia, petty offence regulation.s comprise a large body of legislative and aclmin istrative acts regulating human cond11ct in tl1e areas of public health, safety and welfare, economjc and fiscal affairs, and gover11mental administration, rather tha11 in tl1e areas of more traditional criminal jurisprt1dence. The second part of Article 3 botl1 extends and q11alifies the exemption whicl1 these regulatory measures are given by the first part. It extends the exemption by providing that a regulatory measure shall not be affected even by the general principles of the Pen.al Code if such an intent is expressed in the_ measure. But it qualifies the exemption by providing that the general principles of the Penal Code do apply to all regulatory measures if intent to claim exemption is not expressed therein. The general principle stated in Article 3 can only be understood in the light of the general structure and approach of the Pen�l <?ode. Part I_ of _the <?ode. th� General Part contains the bulk of the ''ge11eral pr1nc1ples embodied 1.n tlus Code. Here are set' out the Code's basic principles: its specifications witl1 regard to t�e commission of offences, criminal responsibility and guilt, and. p�nishment and its application.

specify tl1at they are exempt. Part II of tl1e Penal Code, the special part, contains the elements of offences, and prescrib�s tl1eir specific punislunent. Most of the offences created under Part II art fully defi_11ed. but several prohibt only the violatio11 of certain kinds of regulatory ine,tsures. 13 Part III, tl1e Code of Petty Offences, is ai111ed almost exclusively al establisl1ing the co11seque11ces of violating regulatory mea·sures. Tl1is entire part, like tl1e above-mentioned article of Pa.rt II, pres11mes the existence of a wide range c,f regulatory measures apart from the Penal Code, and their continued effectiveness after its e11actment. Beginning with Articles 691 at1 d 692, 14 in which a petty offence i5 define(l as an infringeme11t of a regulatory meas11re, a11d continuing through ma11y of tl1e articles of tl1e special part of th� Code of Petty Offences, tl1e plan of Par: III is generally to let regulatory measures define offences, and the11 itself to provide p11nishment for their commission. Witl1 this app1·oach apparent in Part II and _prevalent in Part III of the Penal Code, tl1e role of Article 3 in the Code's general fran1ework is further clarified. Article 3 provide·s that the initial premise of tl1e comprehensiveness of the Code is valid witl1 respect to the Code's gen�ral principles: tl1ese principles, contained primarily jn Paq: I of the Code, are to apply to all offences except when some special law expressly provides otherwise. 15 On tl1e other hand, Article 3, combined witl1 tl1e n1any Code articles wllich make reference to special laws, makes clear tl1at n1any. J)reviously e11acted regula.tory measures are to remain i n effect insofar as thy supplement tl1e Code by providing definitions for offences which are not defined in the Code, 16 altl1ough tl1e Cede itself sets forth the penalties for such offences. In light of this a· nalysis, earlier penal provisions can be divided mto tl1e following categories: 1. T11e Penal Code of 1930 and express amendments thereto. 2. Tl1ose provisions whicl1 overlap with the Penal Code of 1957 by dealing witl1 s11bjects included in the Code's general principles. 3. Tl1ose provisions which overlaJ) with the Code by defining offences basi cally similar to offences which are fully defined in the Code itself. 4. Those provisions supplemental to tl1e Code which orovide for offences wl1icl1 are not defined in the Code but wl1ich are referred to by the Code. 5. Those provisions whicl1 deal ,vith offences wl1ich are not defined or referred to any where jn tl1e Code. Provisions in the first category are expressly repealed by Article 3 of Procla mation No. 158, promulgating the Code. Provisio11s in categories 2 and 3 must be consiclered impliedly repealed by tl1e Code beca·11se they deal with matters within its scope, 'and they are not saved by its Article 3. 17 Provisions i n category 4 are preserved at least to some degree by tle Code, b11t a closer examination of the Code's provisions is necessary in order 10 detern1 ine I1ow they interrelate with it. Provisions in caitegory 5 wo11ld pose a nost diffic11lt problem if they existed, but the codification documents make very clear that tl1e draftesmen made a thoro·ugb search of previously existing pe11al provi5ions and incl11ded them all in the Code, either completely or by reference.Is •••

Tl1e following detailed analysis shows l1ow tl1e Code effects tl11s rest1lt.

Article 691 defin�s a petty offe11ce as ai1 i11 fri.nge1nent of a regulatory measure . _ by pena pw1;1shable lties 1 11 tl1e n�1tt1re of tl1ose provided in Articles 702-7 20.20 Article 692 then states t11at tl1e 0!1ly two ki1 1cls of petty offences liable to punish _ ment are those for wl11ch �Jenalt 1es �re ex,1Jressly provided in tl1e Code of Petty Offences and tl1 ose. for wl11 cl1 pei1alt1 es are expressly provided in the regualtory _ ineasure itself, but 1t makes clear tl1at tl1e penalties set out i11 tl1e Code of Petty Offences sl1all �pply �o all petty offences mentioned therein.21 If a regulatory . n1easu:e 1s m �nt1oned 1 n the Code of Petty Offences and penalty for its infringe ment 1s provided, then that penalty s·u1Jercecles any penalty provided elsewhere, whether in th.e regt1latory measure itself or i11 a law authorizing its prom11lgation.

Numerous articles i11 th.e special Part of the Code of Petty Offences state that anyone who contravenes the "rules and regulations''22 regarding a specific subject matter is punishable in a certain way. When the subject of the regulatory mea.sure is referred to in sucl1 an article, its punitive provisions are superceded by those of the article, and specific refere11ce to the Code has bee11 inserted in the text of tl1at meas1rre as it appears in the Consolidated Laws.

The only significant exce1Jti.on to this scl1eme is Article 733.23 This Article which cover almost any subject with which a regulatory measure might deal, complen1ents Article 692 by expressly providing penalties for the violation of regulatory measu.res which are not specifically dealt with in any other article and whicl1 do not have punitive provisions of their own, b·ut it also states that violations of regulatory measures wllicl1 cont,1i11 p11nitive provisions and wl1ich are not referred to in another, more specific article of the Code, are to be punished under the regulatory measu.res themselves. Thus if the draftsmen of the Code l1ave left any prior regulatory measures to be dealt with only by Article 733, and not by any other article, that Article leaves i11 effect any punitive provisions which the measure contains.

The articles of Part II of the Penal Code which make reference to regulatory measures have the same effect as those of the Special Part of the Code of Petty Offences, replacing the punitive provisions of the regulatory measures with their own punishments. Since thei,r punisl1men�s are more sever� than tho·se o � �he C:ode of Petty Offences, tl1ey appear to be wl1at 1s referred to as ex.press prov1s1ons impos ing a more severe penalty'' in the second paragraph of Article 692(1).

011e a· rtcile i11 Part II which bas a11 especially broad scope deserves special 1ne11tion l1ere. This is Article 354, w]1ich provides, ''Where, in accordance witl1 the law, ,t n1inistry or an adn1inistrative or executive organ of the State issues orders, rules or regulations duly pttblished in tI-.e Negarit Gazeta concerning: ... the coun try's fiscal or econo111ic interests, tl1e IJU11isl1n1ent for breaches of such orders, rules, and regulations shall be detern1ined in :tccordance with the principles and punitive provisions of this Code." Subarticle (2) of Article 354 provides that ''all breaches classed as petty offences or, in default of such classification, all brea_cbes of man datory or prohibitory provisions of tllis kind wl1ere the sum or value mvolved does not exceed five thousand dollars'' come with.i.I1 the code of Petty Ofiences and shall be punished as provided therein. 1'his subarticle is con1plemented by Article 355(1), which pro·vides that ''where the said orders, rules or regulations make no explicit reference to an offence· defi11ed i11 trus Code, tl1e Court shall pass sentence of simple imprisonment or fine, fixed in accordance with tl1e provisions, and within the general limits, of tl1 is Code (A·rt 88-90 and Art. 105 and 106)."24 In essence, Article 354 requires tl.e application of tl1e penalties and general pri11ciples of the Pe11al Code to violations of a certain broadly defined range of regulatory measures, whetl1er or 11ot ;;ny mor·e specific article of the Code has provided for the punisl1ment of such regulations. Application of this Article to 11on-petty offences is relativelly clear, for Article 355 sets forth the applicable penalties. On the otl1er hand, a petty offence of the type referred to by Article 354 might i11 theory fall only under Article 733,25 whicl1 purports to provide penalties 011ly for the cases when neitl1er tl1e regulation itself nor the code specifies a penalty. In tl1at ca.se. tl1e strong and explicit policy e11unciatietd in Article 354 must control, and tl1e punitive provisions contained ii Article 733 mt1st be applied, rather than tl1e refere11ce back to any pt1nitive provision contained in the regulatory measures.26 SUMMARY Tl1e Penal Code of 1957 impliedly a1nended many of tl1e earlier laws contained in the Conosolidated La1,vs, and it impliedly repealed a few laws entirely. That Code substituted its own general prmciples for all earlier legal provisions covering such matters as degrees and participatio::i in tl1e co111mission of an offence, criminal responsibility, guilt, justification and excuse, a11d punishn1ent and its application. Moreover, the Code itself defined man; types of offences wl1icl1 J1ad been defined in earlier laws, and thereby t11e Code impliedly re1:>ealed tl1ose earlier definitions. Finally, w]1ile it preserved tl1e definitnns of offences co11t ained in many regu latory meas·ures, the Code in :1lmost ,111 cases provided new punisl1ments for those offen?es a n. d thereby implie�ly repealed the punitive provisio11s originally contained therem.

A11 exa1n1Jle of tl1e applicatio11 of this principle would be one la\v in1posing a tax on all livestock, ,vl1ereas anotl1er law provides specifically tl1at goats shall not be subject to tax. The most rational ex1Jla11ation for the existence of tl1ese two partially contradictory provisions is tl1at tl1e legislator dicl not tl1 ink SJJecifical1y of goats ,vhen l1e passecl the general provisio11 but, ,vhe11 he did think of tl1e111, he decided particularly 11ot to tax goats. The effect of application of tl1e principle is to give effect to the specific provision by carving out an exceJJtion to the general one. These exceptions have not been noted in the Consoli elated Lau,s becatise tl1e freque11cy ,vitl1 ,vhicl1 legislators depend 011 this principle make s in1practicable a listing of all tl1e exceptions ,vl1icl1 are required thereby. 3.

Because legal provisions e11acted before tl1e Code obviously could not l1ave expressly provided for the Code's general principles to be inapplicable, this provision allo\ving sp ecial legislatio11 ex1)ressly to exclude applicability of tl1e Code 1nust be ain1ed at future legislation. See P. Graven, A,i J11trocluctio11 to Etl1.iopia11 Penal Lau, (Faculty of Law, HSIU, Addis Ababa, (1965), P. 13.

C. Pen. 85 bis, p. 5 17 As stated by the draftsmen. See J. Graven, ''Tl1e Penal Code of the Empire of Ethiopia," /. Etlz. L., Vol. 1 (1964), P. 287; Codification documents (Archives, Faculty of .Law, HSIU, Addis Ababa) C. Pen. 9 ("Exposedes Motifs et com.mentaire dtt Code Penal Ethiopia.n''), pp. 6, 21; C. Pen. 48, P. 5; C. Pen. 85 bis, Passi,n. Tl1e above-cited article from the Jour11al of Ethiopian Law is fou11d in French as the Introduction to tl1e French version of the Code published by the ce11tre Fra11cais de Droit compare (1959); tl1e reference is found at pages 26-27 therein. Determination whether a particular prior provision falls within category 3 may be difficult wl1ere the prior provision deals with a specific instance of an offence which is covered more generally in the Penal Code. Suppose, for instance, that some prior law has a provision dealing witl1 assault on an electric company employee in the perfor mance of l1is duties. Suppose also that the Penal Code has only a general provision dealing with assault. Tl1e question, tl1en, is \vl1et.her the legislature intended when enacting the Penal Code to have its new assault provision be exclusive a.nd cover the Penal Code to have its new assault provision be exclusive and cover the problem of assault upon electric con1pa11 y employees as well as upon otl1er persons, or whether the legislature would want the special provisio11 pu11ishing assault upon electric company employees to stand along with tl1 e Pe11 al Code's general assault provisions. Applicatio11 of ordinary rules of statutory interpretation would generally lend to the conclusion that the earlier provisio11 sl1ould co11tinue to stand on the ground tl1at the specific rule prevails over the ge11eral. St1cl 1 a specific offence-creating provisio11 is in a very real sense "supple1ue11tal to tl1e general cri111 i11 al Iav., ." Nevertl1eless, if the penal code's general provisions for aggravation of pu 1 1isl1n1ent or otl1er provisions have dealt with the u.nique aspect tl1at concerned tl1e legislatt1 re previously, tJ1en tl1e Penal Code can accurately be said to have covered the field. 1,11us, for insta.nce, Article 81 of the Penal Code provides for increasi1 1g tl1e IJe11alty in tl1e case v.,J1e11 an offender intentio��ll)' assaults a victin1 deserving special protectio11 by reaso11, i1 1ter alia, of I1is position or function, '' in particular ... a representative of a dt1ly constituted authority ... ". In this situation, tl1e earlier special provtsion is largely duplicative of the Penal Code. It ought to be consid.ered impliedly re1Jealed or, at best, i1 11pliedly an1ended to the extent that, as amended, it does no more tl1an declare tl1 at an electric con1 pany employee is a person deserving special protection withi11 tl1e meaning of Pe1 1al Code Article 81. •

N.B. -The word rendered herein as "police'· appears as "policy'' in the published English version of the Code. As both Frencl1 a11d An1haric use the word ''police", the English version n 1ust be a n1isprint, and accordingl y it l1as been corrected here. 24 At first blush Article 355 ( 1) seems to contradi ct Article 354 (2), for 355 ( 1) provides punisl1 ments greater than those providec i 11 tl1e Code of Petty Offences, and it seems to apply to all undefi11ed offe11ces - petty as well as more significant - wh.ereas Article 354 (2) specifically refers to tl1e Code of Petty Offences for pL1n i shment of some breacl1es whicl1 are not classified. Because all tl1e breacl1 es specifically •difined in the Code are classified, tl1is category antici pated i11 354 (2) seems to overlap witl1 355 (1)'s general category of "orders, rules or r,gulations /lvhich/ make no exp}jcit reference to an offence defined in this Code." Si11:::e we n1ust assume that th.e legislature did not ;-11ean to contradict itself, especiall y i n two adjacent St1barticles, we must search for an interpretation of tl 1ese provisions which n1akes then, co11sistent. Such an interpretation can be acl1i eved si1nply by considering A1ticle 355 ( 1) as referring only to offences ,:vllicl1 are more significant tl1an petty offences. Tl 1us, Article 354 (2) applies only to petty offences, and Article 355 (1) applies 01111 to offences ,vl1icl1 do 11 ot fal l ,vitl 1i.n 354 (2). 25 Although Article 740 appears to be ir1tended to provide for petty violations of tl1e regu lations referred to in Article 354, it cloes not clearly cover tl 1e e11 tire grou11d.
