Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Ratio Decidendi; Obiter Dicta

Explanation:

Ratio Decidendi and Obiter Dicta are Judicial Precedents in law. Judicial Precedents are used by Judges in the Court of law to decide on a current case. Judges apply previously decided cases to a current case.

Ratio Decidendi means the reason for the decision. This pronouncement is binding which must be strictly followed. As the Judge delivers judgment he lay out the facts of the case and outlines the evidence brought before the court. The judge equally examines the argument of Counsel on both sides and apply previously decided cases to arrive at a conclusion.

Obiter Dicta means a statement by the way. In the course of delivering Judgment, the judge might make few remarks that are necessarily not related to law or the facts in an issue that should not be relied on. Obiter Dicta has a persuasive effect.
