California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Goodloe, 37 Cal.App.4th 485, 44 Cal.Rptr.2d 15 (Cal. App. 1995):
Also significant to our analysis is the principle that the construction of a statute by officials charged with its administration, including their interpretation of the authority invested in them to implement and carry out the statutory provisions, is entitled to great weight by courts unless it is clearly erroneous or unauthorized. (Mooney v. Pickett (1971) 4 Cal.3d 669, 681, 94 Cal.Rptr.
