lex posterior derogat priori

Read a random definition: lex Cornelia

A quick definition of lex posterior derogat priori:

Term: lex posterior derogat priori

Definition: This means that if there are two laws, and one was made after the other, the newer law is more important. If the newer law says something different than the older law, the newer law is the one that people should follow. It's like when you make a new rule in your game and everyone has to follow that new rule instead of the old one.

A more thorough explanation:

Lex posterior derogat priori is a legal principle that means a later law takes precedence over an earlier one. This happens when the later law expressly repeals or contradicts the earlier law.

  • Imagine there is a law that says it is illegal to sell alcohol on Sundays. Later, a new law is passed that says it is legal to sell alcohol on Sundays. The new law would take precedence over the old law because it is a later law that contradicts the earlier one.
  • Another example is if there is a law that says it is illegal to smoke in public places. Later, a new law is passed that says it is legal to smoke in designated areas. The new law would take precedence over the old law because it is a later law that contradicts the earlier one.

These examples illustrate how a later law can override an earlier one if it contradicts or repeals it. This principle ensures that the most recent laws are followed and that outdated laws are not enforced.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
