Legal Terms – Cessat Lex Ipsa , Cessante Ratione Legis
cessat lex ipsa, cessante ratione legis [Latin: a law ceases to exist when its purpose is fulfilled] the idea that a law expires along with the conditions that gave rise to it. The immunity of counsel, as addressed by Lord Hoffmann in Arthur J. S. Hall & Co. v. Simons [2002] 1 AC 615 (HL), is a fair illustration of this.
