Non obstantibus

“Non obstantibus” is a Latin phrase meaning “notwithstanding” or “despite.” It is commonly used in legal or formal contexts to indicate that something should be considered or allowed even in the presence of obstacles or contrary circumstances. For instance, in a legal document, you might come across a sentence like “Non obstantibus any other provisions of this agreement, the parties agree to settle disputes through arbitration.” This sentence means that, despite any other provisions in the agreement, the parties have agreed to use arbitration to resolve disputes.
