Summary/Abstract: The consequence of authentic interpretation consists in an interpretive law. This interpretive law tends to clear up the meaning of a previous equivocal law, without creating further rights. The interpretive law must not be a new law. The procedure of interpretive law has to be employed only when the ambiguity of a normative text leads to confusions and jurisprudential struggles. Since it has as a purpose to clear up the meaning of the previous law, the interpretive law is part of the one which is being interpreted. Regarding to this, the interpretive text is a declarative law, because it proclaims the meaning that the interpreted law has always had. The approach of the interpretive laws theory is highly delicate.
