Upholding the first sale doctrineUpholding the first sale doctrinePosted Apr 2, 2013 16:25 UTC (Tue) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954)In reply to: Upholding the first sale doctrine by hummassa Parent article: Upholding the first sale doctrine I don't know an aphorism for it in US law, but the same concept exists. All words must be given meaning. It produces some results that are maddening for a mathematician, like: a lease contract says all payments under the lease must be paid by the 5th of the month. In another section, it says utility payments must be made by the 15th of the month. To a mathematician, these two statements are consistent and mean that utility payments must be made by the 5th of the month. But a judge would read the utility payments to be an exception, because otherwise the words about the 15th would be superfluous.
