express abrogation
Read a random definition: adequate care
A quick definition of express abrogation:
Express abrogation means that a law or rule is cancelled by a new one that talks about it directly. It's like saying "this old rule doesn't count anymore because we made a new one that says so."
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Express abrogation refers to the act of repealing a law or provision by a later one that directly refers to it. This means that the later law or provision specifically states that the previous one is no longer valid.
Example: Let's say there is a law that prohibits smoking in public places. If a new law is passed that says "the law prohibiting smoking in public places is hereby repealed," this is an example of express abrogation. The new law directly refers to the previous law and states that it is no longer valid.
Another example could be a provision in a contract that is later repealed by a new provision that specifically states that the previous provision is no longer valid.
These examples illustrate how express abrogation works by showing that a later law or provision can directly repeal a previous one by specifically referring to it.
