Perfect law that's been revoked (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exact

I believe this is a double definition.

'perfect' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'law that's been revoked' is the second definition.
(ex-act, a former legal act)

(Other definitions for exact that I've seen before include "Spot-on" , "Absolutely accurate or correct" , "Explicit" , "Strict" , "Specific" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
