Hey,
The question is; which part of a courts decision is binding on later similar cases?a. ratio decidendi
b. ultra vires
c obiter dicta
d stare decisisMy answer was A. I thought ratio decidendi is the rational reason behind the court’s decision and ratio decidendi of a case binds all the lower courts on similar cases later on.
But the correct answer was B. I don’t understand why as in my knowledge the meaning of that phrase is acting beyond powers. May you help me, please?
