Lex Specialis Derogat Legi Generalii
Lex Speciali Derogat Legi Generali is a law principle meaning that the special regulations will override the general rule. This principle was made so that the special case will be regulated by the certain or specialized law too. The principle of Lex Speciali Derogat Legi Generali used because some cases need to have their own law because sometimes the general law can’t always regulate the specific cases.The other reason in using this principle is to avoiding the clash between the laws, for example by using this principle we may analyze when there’s clash between constitutional (UUD) and law (UU) because there are possibly some points of those laws that doesn’t match each other. There are two legal entities in this state that can do such judicial review (uji materiil) to our laws. The first entity is the Supreme Court. Supreme Court is the entity that can do judicial review to the regulation below law, for example Supreme Court can review regional regulation. Then the second entity that can do judicial review toward the law also is Constitutional Court. Constitutional Court can do judicial review when there’s a clash between the law and the constitution. In practicing this principle there are some conditionals to be concerned; another law consist in the general law are still exist, and the provision of lex specialis must be suitable with lex generalis.
Law in Indonesia use this principle in dealing with cases. For example article 18 of 1945 Constitution mentions that governor, deputy, and major have to be elected democratically. On the other hand there’s Law no. 13 of 2012 regarding Distinction of Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta which regulates that the governor of DIY will be elected based on lineage. Law no. 13 of 2012 regarding Distinction of Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta is theoretically is the opposite of what stated in article 18 of 1945 Constitution. But using the principle of Lex Speciali Derogat Legi Generali, the law regarding the distinction of DIY, is not

    Law Unit 23

    Before any law and acts are made, there is a long procedure in the process of it being passed. If there are new laws it usually is chosen by majority decision usually in courts or the parliament. For example, the executive or the government form laws in the House of Commons by setting out bills. Sometimes it may come from their election mandate in order to be chosen, for example recently how labour vowed to ban fox hunting which can be shown as an example. Moreover, they then set out a bill to become an act which gets passed to the house and then to the House of Lords as a checking procedure before it is made. However, if the House of Lords don’t pass it as a law then the executive can go and make it an act. This specific method shows that it can be done by the government and has a process for it before anything can be done; usually these acts and laws come out during elections in order to win voters and sometimes are done and even not processed.…

    What Role Does a Judge Play in a Legal System? Does He/She Make Law or Merely Play a Role in Interpreting Law? Discuss.

    But in unwritten laws, a role that a judge plays in will be in terms of case laws in which it is not locked into any statute but instead judgements that the courts have delivered. And once a case has been decided, future cases with similar fact scenarios will be bound by the earlier decision if the earlier decision is made by a higher court in the same hierarchy or a decision made from the court’s previous decision which will be the doctrine of stare decisis. Thus, a “judge-made law” on a case by case basis.…

    Business Law - Statutory Interpretation and Judicial Precedence

    However, in order to fully understand how judges can develop the law through the doctrine of judicial precedent, it is necessary to understand the operation of the doctrine. At the end of every case, the judge will give a judgment and explain his/her decision and his/her reasons. These reasons are derived from the evaluation of the principles of law and the judge will explain them based on these principles which are also known as “Ratio Decidendi” in Latin, meaning the reasons for deciding (Lewis, 2012). This ratio is basically a binding precedent towards future cases of similar facts in lower courts or courts of the same level with certain exceptions such as the Practice Statement (1966) and distinguishing that allows the avoidance of precedents. In other words, judges from the higher courts are able to develop the law through overruling and reversing the decisions made by lower courts, as the lower court’s precedents do not bind them but instead act as persuasive precedents. While judges from the lower courts or the same courts are able to develop the law through avoiding precedents…

    Comparison of Common Law and Civil Law

    Judicial precedents derive their force from the doctrine of stare decisions[lat=stand by the decided matter]i.e that the previous decisions of the highest court in the jurisdiction are binding on all other courts in the jurisdiction changing conditions,however soon make most decisions inapplicable except as a basis for analogy, and a court must therefore often look to the judicial experience of the rest of the English speaking world.This gives the system flexibility while general acceptance of cetain authoritative materials provides a degree of stability.Neverthless,in many instances, courts have failed to keep pace with social developments and it has become necessary to enact statues to bring about needed changes.In recent years ,statutes have superseded much of common law,notablyin the fields of commercial administrative and criminal law,typically however in statutory interpretation the courts have recourse to the doctrines of common law.Thus increased legislation is limited but has not ended judicial supremacy.…

    The practice of following precedent is also known as ‘doctrine of stare decisis’ (stand by what has been decided). Precedent can either be declaratory precedent or original precedent. When a case is brought before a Court, the facts of the case has to be established by the court. After the facts are established, the judges will formulate and apply the relevant legal principle (the law) and reach their conclusion and decision. In accordance to doctrine this principle may form a guide for future cases. It can either be binding or persuasive. The general is, were the subsequent case is in pari material to the earlier case.

The decision of the higher court though not expressly overruled, cannot in the opinion of the court stand with the decision of federal court.
