What is the test for determining whether a section of the California Civil Code requires statutory construction?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Santa Ana Unified School Dist. v. Orange County Dev. Agency, 108 Cal.Rptr.2d 770, 90 Cal.App.4th 404 (Cal. App. 2001):

requiring statutory construction. We are persuaded the section contains at least a latent ambiguity and is susceptible to more than one interpretation. Thus, "we look to a variety of extrinsic aids, including the statutory scheme of which the statute is a part, the legislative history, and the ostensible objects to be achieved." (Praiser v. Biggs Unified School Dist. (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 398, 401, fn. omitted.)
