Previous case (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

precedent

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">previous case</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for precedent that I've seen before include "exemplary court case" , "Earlier parallel event" , "Relevant earlier case in law" , "Going before" , "case one may need to quote" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
