/tək ə lɔ ɔf ðə bʊks/ – Phrase
Definition: bãi bỏ đạo luật.
A more thorough explanation: The legal English definition of “to take a law off the books” refers to the process of repealing or abolishing a law, statute, or regulation, thereby removing it from the official records or legal code where it was previously enacted. This action effectively nullifies the legal effect and enforceability of the law.
Example: The government decided to repeal the outdated law from the statute books.
