A more thorough explanation: A binding precedent is a legal decision or ruling that must be followed by lower courts within the same jurisdiction when deciding similar cases in the future. This means that the lower courts are required to apply the legal principles established in the binding precedent to the cases before them. Failure to follow a binding precedent may result in the decision being overturned on appeal.
Example: In the case of Smith v. Jones, the court established a binding precedent that all future cases involving similar circumstances must follow.
