  dictum - legal definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
A remark, statement or observation of a judge that is not a necessary part of the legal reasoning needed to reach the decision in a case.
Although dictum may be cited in a legal argument, it is not binding as legal precedent, meaning that other courts are not required to accept it.

 What is it like to be a blog? » Alexander’s Dictum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
To show that Alexander’s Dictum is a derivative principle, I would need the following: (i) to identify the more fundamental principle it is derived from; (ii) to show how other equally plausible principles can be derived from this fundamental principle; and (iii) your agreement with my (i) and (ii).
The plausibility of the dictum is accounted for by a more fundamental principle, which we can use to generate other similar dicta for non-physical domains of quantification.
But Merricks’s use of Alexander’s Dictum to eliminate composite physical objects in favor of microphysical atoms composing them succeeds, because the things eliminated by the dictum, and the things preserved by the dictum, both exist in the same domain of physical objects.

 Donny Tedjo Blog: The War Dictum
Both Dictum is not a statement of fact as we read it; It is the antithesis in a dialectical argument whose thesis is the point.

 Bankruptcy Litigation Blog: Judge Posner's "Dictum" on "Dicta"
The plaintiffs call the statements in Harkins that we quoted merely "dicta"—that is, things the court said, not what it held; and only what a court holds is binding (within the limits of stare decisis, discussed below) in subsequent cases.
The first—that dictum is anything besides the facts and the outcome—is unacceptable; as a practical matter, it would erase stare decisis because two cases rarely have identical facts.
But Harkins and this case do have identical facts; so even if "dictum" were construed so broadly, these plaintiffs would be out of luck.
