What is Ratio Decidendi? | What is Obiter Dicta? | Difference between Ratio Decidendi & Obiter Dicta

Описание: When a written judicial opinion is made, it contains two elements:
(1) Ratio decidendi
(2) Obiter dicta.

Ratio decidendi is the Latin term meaning “the reason for the decision,” and refers to statements of the critical facts and law of the case. These are vital to the court’s decision itself. Obiter dicta are additional observations, remarks, and opinions on other issues made by the judge. These often explain the court’s rationale in coming to its decision and, while they may offer guidance in similar matters in the future, they are not binding. In reading a court’s decision, obiter dicta may be recognized by such words as “introduced by way of analogy,” or “by way of illustration.” Obiter dicta may be as short as a brief aside or a hypothetical example, or as long as a thorough discussion of relevant law. In either case, the additional information is given to provide context for the judicial opinion.

The judge may go on to speculate about what his decision would or might have been if the facts of the case had been different. This is an obiter dictum. The binding part of a judicial decision is the ratio decidendi. An obiter dictum is not binding in later cases because it was not strictly relevant to the matter in issue in the original case. However, an obiter dictum may be of persuasive (as opposed to binding) authority in later cases.

In a judgment conveyed by a court, what part is a binding precedent of reference as is applicable in order to be exact with respect to what is at last awaiting suggestion to different courts. What the court chooses, for the most part, is ratio decidendi or rule of law which it is an authority. As against people, not parties to suit or proceeding general rule of law that is ratio decidendi is restricting. The rule of law or ratio decidendi is that what is connected and followed up on by the Courts. The tenets of law or proportion decidendi are produced by judges and are in this manner creature of courts. The ratio must be created by judges while choosing cases before them. Articulation made by passes judgment on when giving addresses are proclamations made in additional legal limits and is in this manner not binding. Over the span of judgment a judge may mention objective facts not absolutely pertinent to decide the issue. These perceptions are obiter dicta and are having no coupling expert yet are none the less imperative. These obiter dicta are useful to excuse law just to propose answers for issues not yet chosen by the Court. Any ratio decidendi are amiable to qualification on various certainties and consequently where the importance thereof are broadened , confined, recognized or clarified , the most recent interpretation of ratio decidendi in later cases moves toward becoming specialist to these condition of realities and in that sense. The rule of law in view of speculative certainties is simple obiter dicta and in this manner not binding.
