/ˈdɪktəm (ʤuːˈdɪʃəl ˈdɪktəm, ˈɒbɪtə ˈdɪktəm)/ – noun
Definition: ý kiến không mang tính chất chính thống của thẩm phán, ý kiến không phải là phán quyết về nội dung vụ án của thẩm phán, ý kiến phát biểu thêm của thẩm phán không trở thành căn cứ kết luận trong phán quyết.
A more throughout explanation: Dictum refers to a statement or observation made by a judge in a legal opinion that is not essential to the decision reached in the case. There are two types of dictum: judicial dictum and obiter dictum. Judicial dictum refers to a statement that is directly related to the decision in the case and forms part of the legal reasoning behind the judgment. Obiter dictum, on the other hand, is a statement made by the judge that is not necessary for the decision and is therefore not binding as precedent.
Example: In the court’s dictum, the judge stated that the issue of privacy rights was not directly relevant to the case at hand.
