Chung Fook v. White
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chung Fook v. White 264 U.S. 443 (1924) was an important Supreme Court case. It was significant in that it marked the end of the era of strict plain meaning interpretation of statutes and the beginning of the looser American Rule that the intent of the law was more important than its text.
A man did not have the automatic right to bring his wife to the United States if he married her after entering there; this is despite the exception's not being explicitly mentioned in the law.
