How courts have described this case

• declining to find the plaintiffs claim “devoid of arguable legal merit” where the viability of its claim was not settled by published legal authority
• “When construing a statute, the court should presume that every word has some meaning and should avoid any construction that would render the statute, or any part of it, surplusage or nugatory”
• appeal of right is available from a consent judgment where reserved
• “[T]he rules of statutory construction ... provide that a more recently enacted law has precedence over the older statute. This rule is particularly persuasive when one statute is both the more specific and the more recent.” (internal citation omitted)
