obiter (suomeksi)

Määritelmät:

incidentally, Incidentally; in passing.
(lb, en, legal) An obiter dictum; a statement from the bench commenting on a point of law which is not necessary for the judgment at hand and therefore has no judicial weight, as opposed to ratio decidendi. Please note that obiter is only a noun in english for the purpose of law. In true latin it is always an adverb and therefore does not have a plural form.
