The Doctrine of Colourable Legislation is founded on the Latin maxim “Quando aliquid prohibetur ex directo, prohibetur et per obliquum” which states that whatever is unable to be done directly, cannot also be done indirectly. The doctrine of colourability is the idea that when a legislature wants to do something that it cannot do within the constraints of the Constitution, it colours the law with a substitute purpose, allowing it to accomplish its original goal.
