of <h1>Courts can consider contemporary authorities' interpretations when analyzing statutes but retain power to reject clearly wrong readings</h1> The Doctrine of Contemporanea Expositio permits courts to interpret statutes by considering how contemporary authorities understood them at the time of enactment. Administrative or executive officers' interpretations carry considerable weight but are not controlling. Courts will generally uphold such interpretations unless clearly wrong. This principle relates to stare decisis, where long-standing interpretations become settled law. The doctrine provides guidance for statutory construction while preserving judicial authority to reject erroneous contemporary interpretations when supported by cogent reasons.
