Flaw or ambiguity in a law (8)

I believe the answer is:

loophole

(Other definitions for loophole that I've seen before include "Ambiguity that makes it possible to evade an obligation" , "Escape clause" , "escape mechanism" , "Means of evading an obligation" , "Way of evading a rule or contract" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
