Advantages and disadvantages of the purposive approach
Gives effect to Parliament's true intentions
Goes directly against the Doctrine of Separation of Powers and Supremacy of Parliament
Makes extensive use of extrinsic aids
Can only be used if Parliaments intentions can be identified
Avoids absure, unjust and harsh outcomes of the literal approach
Avoids the destructive analysis of language
More suited to European law, not English Legislation
Advantages and disadvantages of the literal rule
Respects the Separation of Powers and Supremacy of Parliament
Avoids judges being accused of law making
Rule occassionally produces absurd, unjust and indefensible results that cannot represent Parliaments true intentions
DPP v Cheeseman
Judges say they are doing Parliament a service by drawing faulty legislation and loopholes to their attention
Fisher v Bell
Fails to realise that language has its limitations
Is predictable and offers certainty and consistency in comparison to other approaches
Demands standards of unattainable perfection from Parliamentary draftsmen
The Rules of Language
Specific
Tempest v Kilner ('goods, wares and merchandise')
General
Powell v Kempton Park Racecourse ('keeping a house, office, room or other place for betting')
Context
Pengelly v Bell Punch Co Ltd ('floors, steps, stairs, passages and gangways')
