California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Marsh v. Edwards Theatres Circuit, Inc., 134 Cal.Rptr. 844, 64 Cal.App.3d 881 (Cal. App. 1976):
Where a statute on a particular subject omits a particular provision, the inclusion of such a provision in another statute concerning a related matter indicates an intent that the provision is not applicable to the statute from which it was omitted.
