retrospectivity (uncountable)

  1. The effect of being retrospective or retroactive.
    • 2008, Ben Juratowitch, Retroactivity and the Common Law, page 12:
      it must be pointed out that the distinction between retroactivity and retrospectivity, while describing a real difference in the verbal form in which retrospective law is expressed, lacks normative and practical significance.
