## Opinion text

DENECKE, J.,
specially concurring.
The rule of statutory construction applied by the Court of Appeals is, in my opinion, a correct rule. I concur, however, in the majority decision refusing to follow that rule in this case because its application would result in interpreting the statute in a manner *104 that claimants and the State Compensation Department agree has no merit or advantage for any interested person or party. Such an interpretation, therefore, could not have been intended by the legislature.
Howell, J., joins in this specially concurring opinion.
