Heydon's Case (1584) 76 ER 637 is considered a landmark case as it was the first case to use what would come to be called the mischief rule for statutory interpretation. The mischief rule is more flexible than the golden or literal rule, in that the mischief rule requires judges to look over four tasks to ensure that gaps within the law are covered.
