Distinguishing
In
law, to
distinguish a
case means a court decides the
holding or legal reasoning of a
precedent case will not apply due to
materially different facts between the two cases. There are two formal constraints on the later court: the factors in the
ratio of the earlier case must be retained in formulating the ratio of the later case, and the ruling in the later case must still support the result reached in the precedent case.
