We will certainly see.

Obviously a Judge should always give priority to the real intention of the Law when something it is not black and white.
This used to be the case in English law - and the test was that of the "reasonable man". The "reasonable man" was even defined as the man on the Clapham omnibus. European law has changed things as the intent of the law makers may not be clear given the differing native languages of the drafters of the legislation. This has drip fed into English law such that the letter of the written law can now be more important than the drafters intention and the "reasonable man".
