Ir valstis, kur likumi stājas spēkā pakāpeniski, atkarībā no attāluma – piem. |
There can be countries where a newly adopted law becomes effective gradually, that is, in function of the distance [from the place of legislating] -- this was the case, e.g., in Russia and France. |
agrāk Krievijā, Francijā, u.c. Izdots likums ir spēkā nenoteiktu laiku, ja vien likumā šāds laiks nav paredzēts, ierobežots. |
A law that has been pronounced remains effective infinitely, unless the law provides for a limited time. |
Tādēļ katrs likums ir spēkā kamēr to atceļ. |
Thus, every legal act is effective until it is revoked. |
Sakarā ar likumu izdošanu, paceļas jautājums par likuma spēku laikā. |
Legislating also brings up the question about the chronological effectiveness of a given law. |
Ir princips, ka likumam nav atpakaļejoša spēka. |
One principle says that a law may not retroact. |
Tiesības un pienākumi dibinās uz kādu juridisku faktu, kas izbeidz, pārgroza vai nodibina kādas attiecības. |
Rights and responsibilities arise from a legal fact that establishes, changes or terminates a relationship; as concerns effectiveness of a law at a given moment, it should be based on that legal fact. |
Jaunais likums ir pielietojams tad, ja viņa laikā ir radies šis juridiskais fakts. |
If, on the contrary, the legal fact has occurred in the past, when an older law was effective, then the older law should be applied. |
Turpretī, ja šis juridiskais fakts ir radies pagātnē, tad, kad spēkā bija vecais likums, tad arī jāpielieto šis vecais likums. |
