A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Pro re nata is a Latin phrase that means "in the light of what has arisen." It is used to describe situations that arise unexpectedly and require immediate attention.

For example, if there is an emergency meeting called to address a sudden crisis, it would be considered pro re nata. In legal terms, pro re nata can refer to rules or principles that are established on a case-by-case basis, rather than through general legislation.
