What are types of segments required for decision?
A judge’s decision is made up of two segments, which are given below:
a. Obiter dicta:
Things said through the way on other issues. They are persuasive and not binding upon future cases. The observations focus upon general principles and hypothetical points that affected the judgement and may affect other judges.
b. Ratio decidendi:
It is the decision itself and is based upon the relevant legal reasoning taking in account the reality and law application. The ratio decidedness is binding upon future cases.
