Previous example (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

precedent

'previous example' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for precedent that I've seen before include "Decision to return to" , "Past instance serving as example" , "Previous case cited in court" , "Earlier parallel event" , "Herald" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
