2024So the Promissory Note does not allow the Holder to reallocate pre- default payment to collection costs or fees, nor does it allow the Holder to apply the default clause to subject the entire principal to an increased interest rate when some of the principal and interest has already been paid.7 To conclude otherwise would render the Promissory Note’s repeated references to “unpaid” or “outstanding” principal meaningless, see Cook, 229 P.3d at 1061 , and leads to absurd and unintended results, see Quarky, ¶ 11. 7 In Weston v.

2024Cf. People v. Justice, 2023 CO 9, ¶ 34 (Courts “strive to construe statutes harmoniously, ‘so as to avoid any conflict between them.’”) (citation omitted). ¶ 56 The majority also relies on section 17-2-201(4)(b)’s statement that “[j]udicial review of any revocation of parole shall be held pursuant to section 18-1-410(1)(h),” believing it signals an implicit legislative intent to allow parolees to sidestep review by the Board’s appellate body.
