How has section 4201 of the California Code of Civil Procedure been interpreted?

The indicated construction of section 4201 also avoids any ostensible disparity with sections 4203 and 4205. It thus comports with the settled canons of statutory interpretation which require that all parts of an enactment must be "harmonized . . . in the context of the statutory framework as a whole" (Moyer v. Workmen's Comp. Appeals Bd. (1973) 10 Cal.3d 222, 230-231, 110 Cal.Rptr. 144, 148, 514 P.2d 1224, 1229) and "that where there are conflicting provisions, the one susceptible to only one meaning will control the one that is susceptible of two meanings, if the statute can thereby be made harmonious." (REA Enterprises v. California Coastal Zone Conservation Com. (1975) 52 Cal.App.3d 596, 610, 125 Cal.Rptr. 201, 211.)
