abrogation
Formal law abolishment
Abrogation is the formal abolition or annulment of a law, agreement, or established practice, typically by an authority with the power to do so.
It implies a deliberate and official act of cancellation rather than mere neglect or gradual abandonment.
The abrogation of the treaty left both nations without a formal trade agreement.
The term appears most often in legal, political, and diplomatic contexts where formal repeal carries significant consequences.
