Definition of statutory exception

A statutory exception is a legal provision that exempts certain individuals or entities from a particular law or regulation. It is a formal objection made by a party who wants to preserve an overruled objection or rejected proffer for appeal.

  • A law that requires all vehicles to stop at a red light, but exempts emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks.
  • A law that prohibits the sale of alcohol to minors, but exempts parents who give their children alcohol in their own home.

These examples illustrate how a statutory exception can provide a legal loophole for certain individuals or entities to avoid the consequences of a law or regulation.

Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.

Simple Definition

A statutory exception is a rule that says something is allowed even though it would normally be against the law. It's like getting a special permission slip to do something that's usually not allowed. For example, some people might be allowed to break a law if it's for a really good reason, like if they need to save someone's life. When someone makes a statutory exception, they're saying that they want to do something that's usually not allowed, but they have a good reason for it.
