Altice v. Roanoke County Department of Social Services

2 Citing cases

  1. Baldwin v. Baldwin

    Record No. 0310-19-4 (Va. Ct. App. Dec. 10, 2019)

    2, 16.1-279.1(D). Although in its recitation of the facts this Court recognized that a special plea in bar was filed in a protective order case, Altice v. Roanoke Cty. Dep't of Soc. Servs., 45 Va. App. 400, 403 (2005), we did not address the propriety of filing such a pleading in a petition for a protective order. In that case, Altice only assigned error relating to the substance, rather than the form, of his plea in bar below.

  2. Colbert v. Com

    47 Va. App. 390 (Va. Ct. App. 2006)   Cited 40 times
    Noting that the provisions of what is now Code ยง 18.2-374.3(C) fall expressly within the legislature's purpose of "protecting children from sex offenders"

    We do not isolate particular words or phrases but rather examine a statute in its entirety. Altice v. Roanoke County Dep't of Soc. Servs., 45 Va.App. 400, 406, 611 S.E.2d 628, 631 (2005). In doing so, we have a "duty to interpret the several parts of a statute as a consistent and harmonious whole so as to effectuate the legislative goal."
