A law not enforced or no longer observed (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

dead letter

(Other definitions for dead letter that I've seen before include "Unresponsive landlord" , "Law no longer enforced" , "no longer observed" , "Itll not lead to prosecution" , "Ineffective rule" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
