| 释义 | 填補脫漏 Judicial remedying of an anomalous omission in a statutory provision by reading words into the gap in the provision. The technique is open to a court only where the omission, and how it should be remedied, are very clear. If a study of the statute as a whole leads inexorably to the conclusion that legislature has erred in its choice of words, the court can, and must, eliminate the error by interpretation. But mere ‘manifest absurdity’ is not enough; there must be an error which, in its context, defeats the intention of the statute: Stock v Frank Jones (Tipton) Ltd [1978] 1 All ER 948, 1 WLR 231 (HL). See also Legalism. 通過閱讀有關條文脫漏之處的字眼而就法例條文中異常的遺漏作出司法補救。僅在該項遺漏及其補救方法非常清楚的情況下，法院才可使用此等方法。凡細讀法規的整體會導致認為立法機關選詞錯誤的無法改變的結論，則法院可以及必須透過詮釋消除該項錯誤。但純粹「明顯的荒謬」並不足夠；必須在文意方面有破壞法規意圖的錯誤：Stock v Frank Jones (Tipton) Ltd [1978] 1 All ER 948, 1 WLR 231 （上議院）。另見 Legalism。 |
