NON OBSTANTE

non obstante

non obstante 〈拉〉尽管 旧时文件用语,表示预先排除任何同已宣称的目的或意图相反的解释。在英格兰古法中则常见于国王颁布的法令及签发的特许状〔letters patent〕中,表示准许某人做某事,尽管议会法律有相反规定。这一做法始于约1250年,其后经常用来准许教会法人在违背《永久管业法》〔Statute of Mortmain〕的情况下保有土地,直到国王詹姆士二世最后一次采用这一做法来违背1672年《宣誓法》〔Test Act〕——该事件成为导致1688年革命的因素之一。此后《权利法案》〔Bill of Rights〕废除了这一做法。
