<h1>Strict interpretation limits legal texts to narrowest literal meaning without considering broader context or alternative meanings</h1> Strict interpretation refers to analyzing legal texts according to their narrowest, most literal meaning without considering broader context or permissible alternative meanings. This approach confines statutory operation to cases clearly within the letter of the law while remaining within its spirit, resolving doubts against statute applicability to particular cases. The interpretation focuses on what drafters specifically intended rather than expanding law through implications or equitable considerations. However, strict interpretation can be ambiguous as it may mean either literal or narrow interpretation, where the narrow sense of an ambiguous provision is not necessarily its literal sense.
