Answer:

Precedent

Step-by-step explanation:

A precedent is the judicial decision taken in the light of a specific case, whose normative element may serve as a guideline for the subsequent prosecution of analogous cases. In other words, it is the process of deciding a court case based on previous decisions. Judicial precedent, as it were, is a single decision, but a paradigmatic decision, which will guide other judicial decisions in identical or essentially similar cases.
