Adequate application of law
Adequate application of law (pertinent application of law) – is a specific technique of composing canonical texts, which enables drafters to make such texts considerably shorter.
It consists in stating in a statute that the set of specific statutory provisions should also be pertinently (adequately) applied to some other scope of circumstances – although these provisions literally do not address these circumstances. For instance, the provisions that regulate the contract of the sale of goods may be ordered here to be pertinently applied to the contract of the exchange of goods.
Owing to such statutory clauses, the provisions which have been primarily shaped for one legal institution regulate two different legal institutions. The first is the one which is directly regulated by such provisions and the second is the institution which is regulated by these provisions due to the statutory reference made for that purpose. The reference can be made to one or several statutory provisions. It can, however, also refer to a larger number of such provisions or even refer to the whole statute. In consequence of pertinent application of law, in relation to the latter institution, particular provisions can be applied without any modification, with certain modifications (they may concern a consequence as well as an antecedent), or even their application may be denied completely.[1][2] The choice of these options can be, inter alia, determined by the degree of similarity occurring between the legal institutions concerned and in this sense be dependent on analogy.[3][4]
