Judicial Exceptions
"Judicial exceptions" refer to specific circumstances where courts may set aside or modify the application of a law. These exceptions arise when strict adherence to a law would lead to unjust outcomes or when the law itself is deemed too broad. Courts use these exceptions to ensure fairness and justice in legal proceedings.
Common examples of judicial exceptions include the doctrine of necessity, which allows for actions that would otherwise be illegal in emergency situations, and the public policy exception, which prevents enforcement of contracts that violate societal interests. These exceptions help balance the rule of law with equitable considerations.
