Statutory Construction
(State Farm v. Garamendi)

Statutory Construction, rule Expressio Unius Est Exclusio Alterius
(State Farm v. Garamendi)

State Farm also claims that the rule of statutory construction, expressio unius est exclusio alterius, establishes that the other exemptions from disclosure codified in Government Code section 6254 should apply.  Under this rule, “where exceptions to a general rule are specified by statute, other exceptions are not to be presumed unless a contrary legislative intent can be discerned.”  (Mountain Lion Foundation v. Fish & Game Com. (1997) 16 Cal.4th 105, 116.)  According to State Farm, the second clause of Insurance Code section 1861.07 creates an exception to the general rule—that records identified in Government Code section 6254 may be exempt from disclosure—for those records identified in subdivision (d).  Thus, it contends no exception should be presumed for those records identified in any other part of Government Code section 6254, including subdivision (k).  (See Mountain Lion Foundation, at p. 116.)
