The Latin phrase 'de facto' refers to something as being a fact. And so 'de facto' justice refers to what's in effect in terms of a system of reconciling degrees of guilt with degrees of punishment. But the system isn't backed up by the legal framework. A justice system that's based on and backed up by the existing laws is called 'de jure'. An example of 'de facto' and 'de jure' is the Islamic justice system of Afghanistan through the Taliban. Before the Taliban came to power, their justice was 'de facto', but not backed up by the existing laws, and therefore not 'de jure'. Once the Taliban came to power, their system was 'de jure'. But nowadays, their system of justice is back to 'de facto' wherever it isn't in accord with the established legal system.
