California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Fishman v. Fishman, 117 Cal.App.3d 815, 173 Cal.Rptr. 59 (Cal. App. 1981):

In Tripp v. Swoap (1976) 17 Cal.3d 671, 679, 131 Cal.Rptr. 789, 552 P.2d 749, the court stated: "In interpreting particular words, phrases, or clauses in a statute, 'the entire substance of the statute or that portion relating to the subject under review should be examined in order to determine the scope and purpose of the provision containing such words, phrases, or clauses.' (Citation.) The words in question ' "must be construed in context, keeping in mind the nature and obvious purpose of the statute where they appear. " ' (Citations.) (P) Where as here two codes are to be construed, they 'must be regarded as blending into each other and of forming a single statute.' (Citation.) Accordingly, they 'must be read together and so construed as to give effect when possible, to all the provisions thereof.' (Citation.)''
