Summa jus saepe summa injuria

“Summa jus saepe summa injuria” is a Latin phrase that means “extreme law is often extreme injustice” in English. This expression conveys the idea that adhering too strictly to the letter of the law can sometimes result in unfair or unjust outcomes. While laws play a crucial role in maintaining order and justice in society, there are certain instances where the rigid application of the law can lead to morally or ethically wrong conclusions.
