OBITER DICTUM
(Latin: "Said in passing.") In an opinion, a judge may make observations or incidental remarks. Because these comments are unnecessary to the DECISION, they are not a part of the HOLDING and thus do not bind the court in later cases. Such statements are often referred to by the plural, dicta.
