Enactment
The passing of a law by a law-making body, such as a parliament. The term may refer to the whole or part of a piece of legislation or the whole or part of an instrument made under a piece of legislation. القاموس القانوني

Entrapment
The practice whereby a law enforcement officer induces a person to commit a criminal offence that the person would otherwise have been unlikely to commit. It is a defence to criminal charges when it is established that the law enforcement officer originated the idea of the crime and induced the accused to engage in it. If the crime was promoted by a private person who has no connection with government law enforcement agencies, it is not entrapment. القاموس القانوني

Estoppel
A doctrine that prevents someone from carrying out actions, or making statements or promises that are the opposite of what that person has earlier said, promised or otherwise implied or done, or go against a finding of a court of law, especially when this would result in loss or harm to another person. القاموس القانوني

Exclusion clause
Is a clause in a contract stating that a party is not liable for what would otherwise be a breach, or that his liability for that particular breach is limited. A true exclusion clause recognises a potential breach of contract and then excludes liability for it. Alternatively, the liability for the breach may be limited to a certain amount, or the claim for any loss as a result of a particular breach must be commenced within a certain period of time. القاموس القانوني

Express contract
A contract in which all elements of a contract are specifically stated (offer, acceptance and consideration), and the terms are set out, as compared with an implied contract in which the existence of the contract is assumed by the circumstances. القاموس القانوني

Extenuating circumstances
Usually applied in criminal cases, they are unusual or extreme facts leading up to or attending the perpetration of a crime which, although committed without legal justification or excuse, mitigate or reduce its gravity from the point of view of punishment or moral opprobrium. القاموس القانوني

Fiduciary
A person with a duty to act for another person’s benefit and who assumes a duty to act in good faith and with care, candor and loyalty in fulfilling this obligation of trust. A fiduciary relationship encompasses the elements of faith and confidence and is generally established only when the confidence given by one person is actually accepted by the other person. Mere respect for another individual’s judgment or general trust in his or her character is ordinarily insufficient for the creation of a fiduciary relationship. The duties of a fiduciary include loyalty and reasonable care of the assets within custody. All of the fiduciary’s actions are performed for the advantage of the beneficiary. القاموس القانوني

Floating charge
Is a security interest over a fund of changing assets of a company or a limited liability partnership (LLP) which ‘floats’ or ‘hovers’ until the point at which it is converted into a fixed charge, at which point the charge attaches to a specific asset of the company or LLP. This conversion into a fixed charge is called crystallisation and can be triggered by a number of events, including non-payment or the commencement of insolvency proceedings. القاموس القانوني

Foreseeable
A foreseeable event, time or situation is one that can be easily known about, imagined or guessed before it happens. It is an established legal principle that damages can only be recovered where it can be shown that the loss or injury caused by the defaulting party could be reasonably expected at the time that the event or situation occurred. القاموس القانوني
