Matter of Caldwell · 1984 1 citation
Appellant ignores the principle of statutory construction that bad grammar does not vitiate a statute where legislative intent is clear. Minn. Stat. § 645.18 (1982). Appellant did not contest the validity of the statute at trial, and he failed to notify the attorney general “to afford him an opportunity to intervene” on appeal. See Minn. R.Civ.App.P. 144. For these reasons, we reject appellant’s argument that the statutory definition of mental illness is incapable of application.
