equitable construction

Read a random definition: edictal intimation

A quick definition of equitable construction:

Equitable construction means interpreting a law or document in a way that is fair and just. It is a way of understanding the purpose of the law or document and applying it in a way that makes sense. This is different from strict construction, which only looks at the literal words of the law or document. Equitable construction is also called liberal construction or broad interpretation. It helps to make sure that the law or document is applied in a way that is helpful and not harmful.

A more thorough explanation:

Equitable construction is a way of interpreting a document, such as a law or contract, that is fair and just. It is also known as liberal construction. This type of interpretation looks at the overall purpose and intent of the document, rather than just the literal words.

For example, if a law is written in a way that could be interpreted in two different ways, one of which would achieve the intended purpose of the law and the other would not, an equitable construction would choose the interpretation that achieves the purpose of the law.

Another example is if a contract is written in a way that is unclear or ambiguous, an equitable construction would look at the context and circumstances surrounding the contract to determine the intended meaning.

Overall, equitable construction is a way of interpreting documents that is focused on fairness and justice, rather than just the literal words.

Bio Chemistry is odd, some ppl just cannot absorb certain nutrients/vits. Like some calcium deficient ppl actually loose more calcium when they increase intake.
