Dura Lex, Sed Lex.
(The law is hard but the law)
Principle and application.
"Dura Lex Sed Lex" is a Latin Maxim which translates in English to mean, "the law is hard but the law", This Maxim seeks to establish that however regrettable the outcome of the legal decision may be, the law must be proclaimed and enforced. It emphasizes the idea that laws must be followed, even if they seem strict or unfair.
This phrase is often used to justify legal decisions that may appear harsh but are necessary for the proper functioning of the legal system.
