tarkoitustulkintaa
Tarkoitustulkintaa, often translated as purposive interpretation or teleological interpretation, is a method of legal interpretation where the interpreter seeks to understand the purpose or objective that a legal rule or provision is intended to achieve. This approach contrasts with literal interpretation, which focuses solely on the plain meaning of the words used, or historical interpretation, which examines the intent of the lawmakers at the time of enactment.
The core idea behind tarkoitustulkintaa is that laws are not enacted in a vacuum but are designed
In practice, tarkoitustulkintaa may lead to interpretations that go beyond the most obvious or literal meaning
