California·Code CCP Code of Civil Procedure - CCP·Title 1.·Part 4. TITLE 1. OF THE GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF EVIDENCE
In the construction of a statute the intention of the Legislature, and in the construction of the instrument the intention of the parties, is to be pursued, if possible; and when a general and particular provision are inconsistent, the latter is paramount to the former. So a particular intent will control a general one that is inconsistent with it.
