Simple English definitions for legal terms

generalia specialibus non derogant

Read a random definition: open lewdness

A quick definition of generalia specialibus non derogant:

Term: GENERALIA SPECIALIBUS NON DEROGANT

Definition: This means that when there are two rules or laws, one general and one specific, the specific rule takes priority over the general rule. For example, if there is a general rule that says "no pets allowed in the building" but a specific rule that says "service animals are allowed," the specific rule takes priority and allows service animals in the building.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: General rules do not override specific rules.

Example: In a company's employee handbook, there may be a general rule that employees are not allowed to use their personal phones during work hours. However, if there is a specific rule that allows employees to use their phones for work-related purposes, the specific rule would override the general rule.

Another example could be in traffic laws. There may be a general rule that the speed limit on a highway is 65 mph. However, if there is a specific rule that reduces the speed limit to 55 mph in a construction zone, the specific rule would override the general rule.

This legal principle ensures that specific rules are given priority over general rules when there is a conflict between them. It helps to ensure fairness and consistency in legal decision-making.
