A quick definition of ex legibus:

Ex legibus: This is a Latin phrase that means "according to the laws". It refers to interpreting the law not only by its exact words but also by its intended meaning. This is important because sometimes the exact words of the law may not cover every situation, so we need to understand what the law was meant to achieve.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: ex legibus
Definition: Ex legibus is a Latin term that means "according to the laws." It refers to the interpretation of the law based on both its literal meaning and its intended purpose.
Examples: If a law states that "no vehicles are allowed in the park," ex legibus interpretation would mean that not only cars but also bicycles, skateboards, and other modes of transportation are prohibited. Another example would be if a law prohibits the sale of alcohol to minors, ex legibus interpretation would mean that not only the actual sale of alcohol but also providing it to minors or allowing them to consume it on your premises is illegal.
Explanation: The examples illustrate how ex legibus interpretation goes beyond the literal wording of the law to include its intended purpose. In both cases, the law's purpose is to protect public safety and prevent harm, and ex legibus interpretation ensures that the law is applied in a way that achieves that purpose.
