  • It refers to a situation where a court, intentionally or unintentionally, makes a decision without considering or overlooking a relevant legal precedent or binding authority.
  • Precisely, a judgment is said to be per incuriam when it is rendered "in ignorance" of a relevant law or precedent.
  • Per incuriam decisions are relatively rare, as courts typically strive to consider and apply relevant legal precedents when making judgments.
