by operation of law (The phrase "by operation of law" is a legal term that indicates that a right or liability has been created for a party, irrespective of the intent of that party, because it is dictated by existing legal principles. For example, if a person dies without a will, his heirs are determined by operation of law. Similarly, if a person marries or has a child after his or her will has been executed, the law writes this pretermitted spouse or pretermitted heir into the will if no provision for this situation was specifically included. Adverse possession, in which title to land passes because non-owners have occupied it for a certain period of time, is another important right that vests by operation of law. WK Alexander Demidov); by lawful authority (4uzhoj); in pursuance of an agreement (of a law); by force of law (The parties to this contract shall at all times keep confidential all information acquired in consequence of this contract, except for information to which they may be entitled or bound to disclose by force of law or where required to do so by regulatory agencies. Vocabulary: the expression Сby force of law'means as a result of a legal requirement. Therefore, in this clause if either a binding legal provision stipulates that information must be disclosed, or a court orders such disclosure, then such disclosure must be made.
