Sec. 1-2z. Plain meaning rule.
Construing the plain meaning of Sec. 22a-19 and its relationship to other statutes, court concluded that Sec. 22a-19
allows town to intervene in judicial review of decisions of its wetlands and zoning commission, does not conflict with
Secs. 8-1 and 22a-42, which delegates municipal authority to the agencies, and does not yield an absurd or unworkable
result. 280 C. 405.
When application of alternative minimum tax credit statute resulted in double taxation and a mathematical impossibility
that an individual would ever be eligible to recoup a credit, which was an absurd or unworkable result, court looked to
extratextual evidence to determine statute's meaning. 98 CA 439.
