The study will be supported by an accurate analysis regarding a particular dimension of legal context, known as distal or background context. The intention will be to demonstrate how the above mentioned peculiar facet of the context can assume a substantial importance in relation to linguistic formulation of legal statements to be interpreted and, consequently, the traditional distinction between easy and difficult legal cases. The conclusion will focus on a general consideration concerning the importance of the extra – judicial component of the context in regard to the controversial correlations between the activity of interpretation and integration of law.[+][-]
