From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In law, to distinguish a case means to contrast the facts of the case before the court from the facts of a case of precedent where there is an apparent similarity. By successfully distinguishing a case, the holding or legal reasoning of the earlier case will either not apply or will be limited. Whether a case is successfully distinguished often looks to whether the distinguished facts are material to the matter. Both cases Balfour v. Balfour (1919) and Merritt v Merritt (1971), involve a wife making a claim against her husband for breach of contract. The judge in Balfour decided that a claim could not be made because there was no intention to create legal regulations, there was no legally binding contract. However in Merritt v. Merritt, the judge decided that the facts of this case was sufficiently different in that, while the parties were husband and wife, the agreement was made after they had separated, in writing, thus distinguishing the case from Balfour. Spotted cowAn analogy taught in law school is that of a case involving black and white, and red and yellow and sometimes blue spotted cows. A lawyer in a subsequent case involving brown spotted cows might distinguish the facts on the color of the spots. From Wikipedia under the

What things does this distinction affect?? This is for my Law AS homework, and I dont normally do this, but we havent got text books yet, and everything on the internet sounds to confusing, so any help is appreciated :) Asked by Bob - Fri Sep 11 13:21:56 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's a matter of binding precedent. The higher the judge, the higher the court that judge will be sitting in and the more binding his decisions on inferior courts. The decisions of a district court, county court or crown court judge will perhaps be of persuasive value to other courts, but they will not be binding upon them. Once a case reaches the Divisional Court, the Court of Appeal lower courts will be bound by the decision. If it gets to the House of Lords, the decision must be followed by the lower courts and if another decision of the House of Lords departs from it, it must be because it is possible to distinguish it from that decision in some material way.

With things like library science that science simply means some means of organizing and categorizing things. Biology science was like that until Darwin's core theory of evolution change it into a science that is about explaining why things are the way they are and how they got there. Before Darwin, biology was just a sort of library science of categorizing and grouping of living things. Physics and chemistry are sciences in the way the term science is most accurately used. They are not just a means of categorizing and grouping things, and not just a way of explaining how things got to where they are, they are also a methodology of… [cont.] Answered by Alan Turing - Sat Dec 5 16:42:44 2009 What's a quick easy way to distinguish between type 1 and 2 diabetes not using age of onset?
Q. What's something from the patient's history and/or investigations one can perform to accurately distinguish between type 1 and 2 diabetes? Thanks jojo.

The symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes over-lap. Family history is typically of little value. In twin studies, if one twin develops type 1 diabetes there is a 50% probability that the other twin will develop type 1 diabetes. The specific genetic markers have been identified, but it is not know if you have such genes, what the probability of subsequent diabetes is. For type 2 diabetes the genetic link is stronger, but the genes have not been identified, and it is presumed to be poly-genetic. Family history should imply 'first degree relatives', meaning father, mother, brother, sister, and children. Age is of little benefit, other than to say that… [cont.] Answered by john e russo md facm faafp - Thu Jul 2 09:59:52 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "distinguish"  news.google.com Deseret News It's hard enough to come up with good questions to distinguish candidates for the office of county surveyor, but that year, it was easy for the Republican ... and more » news.google.com BurlingtonFreePress.com 24 primary to distinguish themselves from the field.
