De facto is a
Latin expression that means "in fact" or "in practice" but not spelled out by law. It is commonly used in contrast to
de jure (which means "by law") when referring to matters of
law,
governance, or technique (such as
standards), that are found in the common experience as created or developed without or contrary to a regulation. When discussing a legal situation, de jure designates what the law says, while de facto designates action of what happens in practice.
