【Abstract】 Formal interpretation of the criminal law aims to standardize provision administering by literally interpreting penal provisions while substantial interpretation strives to mete out necessary punishment by interpreting penal provisions in light of reason and need to punish an act instead of the criminal law itself. The theory of formal interpretation sees formal justice as its end with legality sometimes running counter to reasonableness whereas the theory of substantial interpretation aims to realize substantial justice with its reasonableness occasionally contrary to legality. In China’s current context, the ruling position should see the theory of formal interpretation and partially submit to the theory of substantial interpretation only when it is in favor of the defender.更多还原
