I think what you're referring to would be the spirit of the law. The rule of law is the execution of the laws. It doesn't necessarily have to follow the spirit. If the law says a thing, and you do the thing you are following the rule of law. That doesn't mean the thing is right or wrong, just that is what the law says.
