Simple English definitions for legal terms

retrospective

Read a random definition: intra luctus tempus

A quick definition of retrospective:

Retrospective means looking back at things that have already happened. It can also refer to a law or rule that applies to things that happened in the past. This is different from a law that only applies to things that happen in the future. Sometimes, a new law can be applied to things that are still happening, but not yet finished. This is called quasi-retroactivity. The idea behind retrospective is to make sure that things are fair and just, even if they happened a long time ago.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Retrospective means looking back at things that have already happened. It is often used in legal contexts to describe a law or ruling that applies to things that happened in the past.

For example, if a new law is passed that makes something illegal, but people have already done that thing before the law was passed, the law might be applied retrospectively. This means that people could be punished for doing something that was legal at the time they did it, but is now illegal because of the new law.

Another example of retrospective action is when a court ruling is made that affects a case that has already been decided. This means that the ruling is applied to the past decision, and could change the outcome of the case.

Overall, retrospective means looking back at things that have already happened, and applying new rules or laws to them.
