Interpretatio chartarum benigne facienda est, ut res magis valeat quam pereatquando res non valet ut ago valeat quantum valere potest

The construction of instruments should be liberal, that the transaction may be effective rather than impotent when the transaction is not valid as I do it, let it have as much validity as it can have. Bond v Bunting, 78 Pa St 210, 219. Interpretatio fiends est ut res magis valeat quam pereat. Construction should be such that the transaction may be effective rather than perish.
