What is Golden Rule of Statutory Interpretation about?

The Golden Rule of Interpretation allows courts to start with the literal meaning of statutes but permits modifications to avoid absurd or unjust outcomes. Established in the case of Grey v. Pearson (1857), this rule emphasizes that the ordinary meaning of words should be adhered to unless it leads to inconsistencies or absurdities. The rule balances strict literal interpretation with the intention of the legislature, ensuring fair and sensible application of laws.
