For the play, see Mutatis Mutandis.
Mutatis mutandis is a Latin phrase meaning 'changing what had to be changed'. It is used in English as well as in Spanish and in other languages whose root is Latin. Informally the term should be understood "in an analogous way by making the necessary changes".
This term is often used in law and economics. It implies that the reader should pay attention to the differences between the current argument and the past argument, even if they are analogous.
For example: "What was changed in relation to protocol 3 is also taken mutatis mutandis in protocol 4." Another example: "The wills of both spouses are the same" mutatis mutandis ".
The Latin expression was used as a motto of the (now missing) Argentine magazine, counterculture, alternative and New Age, Mutantia.
