In the case before us, defendant's challenge to a statute which is clearly penal presents a question of law directly addressed to the propriety of plaintiff's claim for relief. An important question of public interest is presented. Plaintiff, having been given full opportunity himself and through amici to support application of the statute as to him, does not allege that he will be prejudiced by our examination of defendant's contentions, the merits of which we now consider. *395 2.
