Unless the provision or the context otherwise indicates, and except as expressly otherwise provided in this chapter, words used in this division have the meanings prescribed in Part 1 (commencing with Section 25000) of the Corporate Securities Law.
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
(3) A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4),
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
(4) was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
