Modifications of Norm's Scope
Exception
In an exception, the exception-making source provision restricts the normative action of the exception-receiving target provision, causing the latter to fail of effect whenever the exception-originating event takes place.

Mozambiquen Law
Lei n.7 of 2002
Example 2
South African Law
Act n. 43 of 1996
