How do I "prove" a code requirement doesn't exist?

Conarb such literal interpretations would defeat the intention of the statute. We are supposed to interpret laws to support the intention of the legislature.

I believe that the intention was to protect the owner from being forced to make major upgrades as a result of a repair. Sometimes this is a good thing and some times it allows existing problems to be continue. For good or bad the legislature made this decision.
