The mischief rule is one of three rules of statutory interpretation traditionally applied by English courts, the other two being the "plain meaning rule" (also known as the "literal rule") and the "golden rule". It is used to determine the exact scope of the "mischief" that the statute in question has set out to remedy, and to guide the court in ruling in a manner which will "suppress the mischief, and advance the remedy". The rule was first set out in Heydon's Case, a 1584 ruling of the Exchequer Court.

  • The mischief rule is one of three rules of statutory interpretation traditionally applied by English courts, the other two being the "plain meaning rule" (also known as the "literal rule") and the "golden rule". It is used to determine the exact scope of the "mischief" that the statute in question has set out to remedy, and to guide the court in ruling in a manner which will "suppress the mischief, and advance the remedy". The rule considers not only the exact wording of the statute, but also the legislators' intentions in enacting it. In applying the rule, the court is essentially asking whether parliament in enacting the statute intended to rectify a particular mischief, even though it might not be covered by a literal reading of the statute's wording. For example, if a law prohibits a specific behaviour "in the street", the legislators might – or might not – have intended the same behaviour on a first-floor balcony overlooking the roadway to be covered. The rule was first set out in Heydon's Case, a 1584 ruling of the Exchequer Court. (en)
  • La règle de la situation à réformer (anglais : mischief rule) est l'une des trois règles d'interprétation des lois traditionnellement appliquées par les tribunaux anglais et canadiens, les deux autres étant la règle du sens ordinaire et la golden rule. La règle est utilisée pour déterminer l'étendue exacte du mal à corriger que la loi en question vise à remédier et pour aider le tribunal à statuer d'une manière qui supprimera les maux et promeuve la solution au problème. La règle tient compte non seulement du libellé exact de la loi, mais aussi de l'intention du législateur en la promulguant. En appliquant la règle, le tribunal demande essentiellement si le Parlement, en adoptant la loi, avait l'intention de rectifier un mal social particulier même s'il n'était pas couvert par une lecture littérale du libellé de la loi. Par exemple, si une loi interdit un comportement spécifique « dans la rue », les législateurs pourraient (ou non) avoir voulu le même comportement sur un balcon du premier étage donnant sur la chaussée.
