The Mischief Rule Is, Historically and Formally, Narrower Than the Golden

question 4

True/False

The mischief rule is, historically and formally, narrower than the golden rule because the mischief that the Act intended to correct was determinable from the Preamble of the Act itself. It can now be said, however, that, to some judges, the distinction between the mischief and the golden rules is virtually non-existent; both have become subsumed by a general purposive approach.
