cessante ratione legis, cessat lex ipsa
[Latin: when the reason for a law ceases, the law itself ceases] The principle that when the grounds that gave rise to a law cease to exist, the law itself ceases to exist. A good example of this can be found with regard to the immunity of advocates as discussed by Lord Hoffmann in Arthur J S Hall & Co v Simons [2002] 1 AC 615 (HL). |
