California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. The Superior Court of Orange County, G043937, Super. Ct. No. M-10354, Super. Ct. No. M-11042 (Cal. App. 2011):
words are used and with reference to the entire statutory scheme so that the whole may be harmonized and retain effectiveness. (People v. Pieters (1991) 52 Cal.3d. 894, 899.) Under general rules of statutory interpretation, an interpretation that has the effect of making statutory language null and void is to be avoided. (People v. Woodhead (1987) 43 Cal.3d 1002, 1010.)
