Legal English
In case law, judgments are mainly divided into two parts: "reasons for judgment" and "opinions attached".

Proportional effect is the binding part of the judgment, that is, the interpretation of legal application made by the judge in the trial of a case is legally binding on similar cases in the future.

The postscript is a non-binding part, that is, the opinion attached to the judgment is an unnecessary part of the judgment, but it may have an impact on the future judgment, so it is not binding, but a convincing precedent.
