Page "Limbo" Paragraph 53

A " legal limbo " may occur when varying laws or court rulings leave a person without recourse.

For example, a person may earn " too much " to receive public assistance from the government, but not enough to actually pay for basic necessities.

Likewise, various parties in a dispute may be pointing blame at each other, rather than fixing the problem, and leaving the person or group suffering from the problem to continue to suffer in limbo.
