	Clive  +  572286 Wed, 01 Oct 08 05:26 PM Hi, Does anybody know the meaning of the legal term "Mutatis Mutandis" means?! Generally speaking, the idea is 'Having made the necessary changes'. ('Muto' is the Latin verb  for change, eg mutant, mutate, etc.) Have a look here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutatis_mutandis This site includes the following example. A local chapter of a national organization may adopt a rule that the national organization's procedure for something will apply, mutatis mutandis, to the local chapter. Thus, even though the chief officer of the national organization may be called the "president", and the chief officer of the local chapter may be called the "chairman", instances of "president" would be changed to "chairman" when applying the national procedure. This is commonly done by subordinate units (such as localities or chapters) to avoid duplication of text in local ordinances or rules that is sufficiently covered by state or national laws or rules.   Best wishes, Clive Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,657 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo Verbs
