  6.1 Argument  
  Article 176-Interpretation  
  Canon 2560  
  Interpretation is the use of argument, reason, logic and competence in accordance with these canons to deduce the correct intent and meaning of the law. Thus, to interpret the law is to explain and apply The Law as it was originally intended.  
  Canon 2561  
  The best interpreter of a valid canon is the canon itself. Therefore, the best interpretation of any administrative act, statute or ordinance is its conformity to these canons first and secondly to itself.  
  Canon 2562  
  Conformity to these valid Canons, not use is the best interpreter of things. Therefore, custom alone is the worst interpreter of the law.  
  Canon 2563  
  In the construction of valid agreements conforming to these canons, words are to be interpreted against the person using them.  
  Canon 2564  
  Lawful commands in accordance with these canons receive a strict interpretation, but unlawful may command a broad and extended interpretation.  
  Canon 2565  
  When anyone references, writes or speaks of “Interpretation”, “Valid Interpretation”, or “Correct Interpretation” it shall mean these canons and no other.  
  Canon 2566  
  It is an invalid interpretation which corrupts the text of any canon.
