デジュールな権利はあっても、実際には行使
Even though there is a de jure right, it cannot be exercised in practice.
デファクト means 'de facto', referring to a situation that exists in reality, regardless of legal status. デジュール is the legal or official counterpart.
Borrowed from English 'de jure', ultimately from Latin 'de iure' meaning 'by law'.
