generalia specialibus non derogant

generalia specialibus non derogant (jen-[schwa]-ray-lee-[schwa] spesh-ee-ay-l[schwa]-b[schwa]s non der-[schwa]-g[schwa]nt). [Latin “general things do not derogate from specific things”] The doctrine holding that general words in a later statute do not repeal an earlier statutory provision dealing with a special subject. • This principle illustrates the cautious approach that some courts have adopted in interpreting broad provisions, but there are many exceptions. [Cases: Statutes 223.

4. C.J.S. Statutes § 355.]
