PER MODUM EXCEPTIONIS

Per modum exceptionis is a Latin term that means "by way of exception."

• The company policy states that all employees must work from the office, but per modum exceptionis, some employees are allowed to work from home due to medical reasons.
• The law requires all drivers to have a valid license, but per modum exceptionis, a person with a disability may be allowed to drive without a license if they have a special permit.

These examples illustrate how per modum exceptionis is used to make an exception to a general rule or policy. In both cases, there is a standard requirement that applies to everyone, but certain individuals are allowed to deviate from that requirement due to specific circumstances.
