A latch arrangement includes a latch, a manually actuable element, a release mechanism and an electromagnet. The latch is operable to releasably retain a striker. The release mechanism is capable of being moved by the manually actuable element from a latched position to an unlatched position such that the manually actuable element unlatches the latch. The electromagnet includes first, second and third conditions. The first condition is a non-powered condition and actuation of the manually actuable element does not cause the release mechanism to unlatch the latch. The second condition is a powered condition and actuation of the manually actuable element does not cause the release mechanism to unlatch the latch. The third condition is in a non-powered condition and actuation of the manually actuable element causes the release mechanism to unlatch the latch.
