Portuguese term or phrase: consunção

It is a legal principle best described here:

I don't think that principle exists in UK law, but struggling on how to phrase it...

the more serious crime subsumes the less serious (lex consumens derogat consumptae)

Explanation:
Eu encontrei uma única referência em inglês a esse princípio que vem do direito romano, por isso o latim. Mas seria uma maneira bem clara de explicar a questão.

39 mins confidence:

merger of offenc/ses

Explanation:
I agree that the idea is one of subsuming of offenc/ses, but there is something similar in Anglo-Am. law.

Notes

1. I don't think that principle exists in UK law > it usually does, but the problem is one of recognition and identification

2. the doctine of merger also exists in UK conveyancing, namely merger of the contract of sale into the final conveyance of land aka incorporation in US Am. law.

3. In the UK, there is a related exhortation not to 'overload' criminal indictments means prosecutions ought to be for the most serious offence e.g. murder and breaking a window to gain access to the victim need not be included as criminal damage as a count in the indictment.

4. no. 2 numerical confidence level as numbers well downwards from 4 & 3.

Example sentence(s):

USA: Merger of Offenses Law and Legal Definition Merger of offenses refers to the common law doctrine that if a misdemeanor is an ingredient of a felony, the misdemeanor is an integral part of the felony and prosecution should be only for the felony.
