Term: QUIA ITA LEX SCRIPTA EST

A more thorough explanation:

QUIA ITA LEX SCRIPTA EST

Quia ita lex scripta est is a Latin phrase that means "because the law is so written." It refers to the fact that a law or statute must be followed exactly as it is written, without any interpretation or deviation.

For example, if a law states that a person must be 18 years old to vote, then anyone who is not 18 years old cannot legally vote. Even if someone is only a few months away from turning 18, they cannot vote until they reach the age specified in the law. This is because the law is so written, and it must be followed exactly as it is written.

Another example is if a law states that a certain action is illegal, then anyone who performs that action is breaking the law. Even if someone did not know that the action was illegal or did not intend to break the law, they can still be punished for their actions. This is because the law is so written, and it must be followed exactly as it is written.

The examples illustrate the definition of quia ita lex scripta est by showing that laws must be followed exactly as they are written, without any interpretation or deviation. This means that even if someone thinks that they have a good reason for breaking the law or that their situation is different from what is specified in the law, they cannot legally do so. The law is the law, and it must be followed as it is written.
