Before the amendment, ORS 419A.205(1) (2001), amended by Or. Laws 2003, ch. 396, § 29, provided that for "the purpose of being appealed * * * [a judgment is a] judgment finding a child to be within the jurisdiction of the court." In Salahub v. Montgomery Ward , 41 Or. App. 775, 784-85, 599 P.2d 1210, rev. den. , 288 Or. 249, 603 P.2d 1381 (1979) (citing ORS 174.010 ), the court noted the rule that statutes of the same subject-matter passed during the same legislative session must be construed together "so that each may remain intact, in the absence of irreconcilable conflict." The state does not argue that youth's construction of the ORS 419C.450 is irreconcilable with ORS 419A.205.
We note that defendants Harris or Hawthorne Land Co. have been before this court at other times involving similar practices. See Household Finance v. Bacon, 58 Or. App. 267, 648 P.2d 421, rev den 293 Or. 653 (1982); First Federal v. Gruber, 45 Or. App. 747, 609 P.2d 419, reversed 290 Or. 53, 618 P.2d 1265 (1980); and Salahub v. Montgomery Ward, 41 Or. App. 775, 599 P.2d 1210, rev den 288 Or. 249 (1979). Oregon has long recognized the rule that the trial court has equitable power to set aside a sheriff's deed and allow a judgment debtor to redeem property when the price paid by the purchaser is so grossly inadequate as to shock the court's conscience.
This court cannot, under the pretext of construing a statute, supply an element omitted, by mistake or design, by the legislature. Salahub v. Montgomery Ward, 41 Or. App. 775, 785, 599 P.2d 1210, rev den 288 Or. 249 (1979). Neither the Subdivision Control Law nor the Condominium Act authorizes the regulation of sales of "right to use" time-share interests.
In construing the statute before us, our function is to ascertain and apply the intent of the legislature. Fifth Avenue Corp. v. Washington Co., 282 Or. 591, 581 P.2d 50 (1978); Salahub v. Montgomery Ward, 41 Or. App. 775, 599 P.2d 1210, rev den 288 Or. 249 (1979). "In this endeavor, we may give due consideration to legislative history."
