Argumentum lay non distinguente

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The legal idea referred to as argumentum lege non distinguente (taken from the sentence argumentum lege non distinguente nec nostrum est distinguere ) is understood in jurisprudence as a logical conclusion in the interpretation of laws , which allows the law in question to be imposed by analogy to apply a situation that is not expressly regulated. The prerequisite is that the law to be interpreted does not distinguish between the two facts either explicitly or according to its basic idea. A reverse conclusion ( argumentum e contrario ) then results in a prohibition of analogy .

Remarks

  1. "We are also not entitled to distinguish a reason for evidence if the law does not distinguish it."
