extensive interpretation

Read a random definition: Suitors' Deposit Account

A quick definition of extensive interpretation:

Extensive interpretation is a way of understanding what something means, especially when it comes to the law or legal documents. It means looking beyond the literal words and applying the law to cases that may not fit exactly within its wording. This is a more liberal approach to interpretation, where the reader tries to understand what the author intended, even if it's not explicitly stated. It's important to interpret laws correctly to ensure fairness and justice for everyone.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Extensive interpretation is a type of interpretation that applies a law or rule to a situation that is not specifically mentioned in the law or rule. It is a liberal interpretation that goes beyond the literal words of the law or rule.

Example: Let's say there is a law that says "No vehicles allowed in the park." An extensive interpretation of this law might allow for bicycles or wheelchairs to be used in the park, even though they are technically vehicles. This is because the intention of the law is to prevent motorized vehicles from damaging the park, not to prevent people from using non-motorized means of transportation.

Another example of extensive interpretation is when a court applies a law to a new technology or situation that did not exist when the law was written. For instance, if a law was written before the internet existed, a court might use extensive interpretation to apply the law to online activities that are similar to the activities the law was meant to regulate.

Overall, extensive interpretation allows for flexibility in applying laws and rules to new situations, as long as the intention of the law or rule is being upheld.
