A more thorough explanation:

Contra formam statuti is a Latin legal term that means "contrary to the form of the statute." It refers to a situation where someone has violated a law by not following the specific requirements or procedures outlined in the statute.

For example, if a statute requires that a certain form be filled out in order to obtain a license, but someone obtains the license without filling out the form, they have acted contra formam statuti. Similarly, if a statute requires that a certain procedure be followed in a court case, but the procedure is not followed, the case may be dismissed as contra formam statuti.

Another example could be a situation where a statute requires that a certain percentage of a company's profits be allocated to employee benefits, but the company fails to do so. In this case, the company would be acting contra formam statuti.

These examples illustrate how violating the specific requirements or procedures outlined in a statute can result in an action being considered contra formam statuti.
