[...] la théorie déclaratoire est issue du célèbre aphorisme de Blackstone : les juges ne créent pas le droit mais ne font que le découvrir [...] Elle exprime une conception classique et fort répandue du rôle des tribunaux dans un État démocratique, fondée sur le souci de préserver une stricte séparation des pouvoirs judiciaire, législatif et exécutif. Ainsi, le tribunal accorde une réparation rétroactive en appliquant le droit existant ou une règle redécouverte qui est réputée avoir toujours existé, tandis que le législateur élabore de nouvelles lois pour l’avenir. 1, record 3, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20d%C3%A9claratoire

Interpretative or declaratory acts serve "... to remove doubts existing as to the common law, or the meaning or effect of any statute" ...

Interpretive provision: Although frequent in usage, the adjective "interpretive" has been condemned by some authors.
