Question

Which term is not matched with a correct definition?

precedent – a legal dispute between private individuals


plaintiff – the party that begins a legal case


defendant – a person who is accused


appeal – asking a higher court to review a decision

Answer 1

Precedent is the right choice. The rest of the words have the right definition.

Answer 2

The term that is not matched with a correct definition is precedent, as it isn't a legal dispute between private individuals, but a rule or principle established in a previous legal case that is binding or persuasive for a Court or other judicial body to decide in subsequent cases with similar issues or facts.

The other terms are correctly defined.
