How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

Legislature's omission of term in enumerated list in statute \suggest[s] that it intended to exclude\ that term
“The Legislature enumerated three courts in the immunity statute, but did not include the Juvenile Court. Accordingly, the Legislature’s actions suggest that it intended to exclude the Juvenile Court”
where statute authorized three courts to issue order granting immunity to witnesses but did not include Juvenile Court in that authorization, Legislature evidently intended exclusion of Juvenile Court
no standing conferred on a victim to move for prompt disposition of a criminal matter under G. L. c. 25 8B, because “a statutory expression of one thing is an implied exclusion of other things omitted from the statute”
