unrepealed
Never formally revoked
Unrepealed describes a law, statute, or regulation that remains in force—it has not been formally revoked or canceled by the legislative body that enacted it.
Many jurisdictions have unrepealed laws that are outdated or no longer enforced but technically still valid: The unrepealed ordinance from 1847 still technically prohibits dancing on Sundays.
