legal interpretation
concept
Necessary explanations of the contents of laws and regulations made by certain people, organizations and state agencies
Features
The object is specific: through understanding and interpretation of legal texts and the historical background in which the law was formed, to explore the legal meaning they express
·Practical: Legal interpretation occurs when the rights and obligations of the parties in individual cases are determined. · Combine legal provisions with facts and interpret the law within a factual framework
Cannot deny or doubt the premises of the explanation
Purpose: Legislators use law to carry a certain social purpose they pursue, which is mutually displayed and balanced with legal values and the purpose of society itself.
All interpretive activities are subject to the "hermeneutic cycle": the grasp of the whole needs to be based on the understanding of its components, and the understanding of the parts is based on the understanding of the whole
Goals and methods
Target
Subjective theory: Legal interpretation is to explore the intentions and purposes of legislators when formulating laws. The law can be misused if those who apply it are left to interpret the law based on their own position. The political system of separation of powers cannot tolerate those who apply the law becoming the ones who make the law due to legal interpretation.
Objective theory: The law has separated from the original legislative body and become an independent objective existence since it was promulgated. The purpose of legal interpretation is to explore the meaning inherent in the law. Legislative intention is the product of compromise among many legislative wills, and truly independent legislators do not exist. Insisting on interpreting the law from the text can better enable the law itself to adapt to the development and changes of social life
