*A LAW TERM TODAY* *(03-02-2025)* ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ *PRECEDENT* _A court decision in an earlier case with facts and legal issues similar to a dispute currently before a court. Judges will generally "follow precedent" - meaning that they use the principles established in earlier cases to decide new cases that have similar facts and raise similar legal issues. A judge will disregard precedent if a party can show that the earlier case was wrongly decided, or that it differed in some significant way from the current case._ ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ _Keep following the law on ELaw Ghana_ *Email us: [email protected]* *Follow us on:* *X:* https://x.com/Elaw_Ghana?t=aAlQHAwjiaHfC54ci-3aSQ&s=09 *Meta:* https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567657103250&mibextid=ZbWKwL *Elaw Gh* _"...dura lex, sed lex"_
