rational interpretation

rational interpretation
A term which has been applied to a doctrine sometimes followed in the interpretation of written instruments, whereby language held to be lacking is supplied by the court, and language held to be superfluous is disregarded, in an effort to give effect to the intention of the maker of the instrument. The same doctrine has been employed in the construction of statutes. The doctrine is a dangerous one because of its tendency toward judicial legislation. Shellenberger v Ransom, 41 Neb 631, 59 NW 935.
