A quick definition of statutory exception:
A statutory exception is a rule that says something is allowed even though it would normally be against the law. It's like getting a special permission slip to do something that's usually not allowed. For example, some people might be allowed to break a law if it's for a really good reason, like if they need to save someone's life. When someone makes a statutory exception, they're saying that they want to do something that's usually not allowed, but they have a good reason for it.A more thorough explanation:
A statutory exception is a legal provision that exempts certain individuals or entities from a particular law or regulation. It is a formal objection made by a party who wants to preserve an overruled objection or rejected proffer for appeal.
- A law that requires all vehicles to stop at a red light, but exempts emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks.
- A law that prohibits the sale of alcohol to minors, but exempts parents who give their children alcohol in their own home.
These examples illustrate how a statutory exception can provide a legal loophole for certain individuals or entities to avoid the consequences of a law or regulation.
