People v. Figueroa

In People v. Figueroa, 27 Misc 3d 751, 894 NYS2d 724 [Sup Ct, NY County, Feb. 8, 2010], the Court noted that the holding was an application of the well-established rule that a statutory interpretation which is contrary to reason or would lead to an unreasonable result is presumed to be against the intent of Legislature, regardless of any statutory language or legislative history indicating that the Legislature actually intended such a construction. (Figueroa, 27 Misc 3d at 756, citing Statutes 143.)
