Stare Decisis
Only the ratio decidendi is accorded stare decisis status. Everything else is obiter dictum.
Stare decisis
Res judicata refers to a legal principle that a matter that has been conclusively decided by a court cannot be litigated again between the same parties. Stare decisis, on the other hand, is the legal principle of following precedent and adhering to decisions made in prior cases. Res judicata focuses on the finality of judgments, while stare decisis focuses on consistency in the application of law.
