Mutatis mutandis means that the basic terms and conditions, rules and regulations of the similar documents, cases will remain the same except the necessary changes having been made; having substituted new terms; with respective differences taken into consideration.
The term can be better understood with the help of an example as per under:
A land lord has executed leave and license Agreement with three properties owned by him whichl contain the same general clauses, the same obligations on the part of lanlord and the tenant and confer the same rights. In such a case all the three documents are said to be the same mutatis mutandis, that is, they are the same, if (or when) the name of the tenant , the particular descripttion of the number of propert and the area of that unit , and other such-like particulars which are peculiar to each, are changed.
