What are the principles which should guide a court when interpreting a statute?
When interpreting a statute a court will first look to the precedent set forth by courts with higher authority; i.e. Federal Eastern District Court of Michigan must abide by the interpretation of a Federal Statute given by the Federal 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. Where there is no prior interpretation of a statute, a court will look first to the plain language of a statute, and then to legislative intent. Bill markups and committee reports are the most persuasive in interpreting a statute. Expert testimony and Floor Debate are only slightly persuasive.
