The Role of the Legal Principles and the General Clauses in the Process of the Operative Interpretation of Law

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the role of the legal principles and the general clauses in the process of the so called operative interpretation of law, being the part of the process of making the decision of implementation of law and undertaken, in the light of the facts of the case, to make this decision. The are two main aspects of the role of both constructs in this kind of interpretation. The first one, at the validation phase of interpretation, deals with the way the principle or clause is accepted by the court as an element of the base for decision. The second one touches the role of principle and clause in the whole reconstruction of the implemented norm, changing the proportions between the impact of the linguistic and systemic rules of interpretation, giving way to axiologically determined teleological and functional directives. The latter appear at the beginning of the interpretative process and influence the contents of the norm and then the judicial decision in a prevalent scale.
