It is a reported case which is followed in subsequent cases. The higher the court hearing it, the more authoritative it is. A decision in a House of Lords case, for instance, has to be followed by other courts hearing similar cases. Sometimes legal text books are also cited in court as legal authorities where they represent the accumulated wisdom of many years of case law and its interpretation.

Rational-legal authority (also known as rational authority, legal authority, rational domination, legal domination) is a form of leadership in which the authority of an organisation or a ruling regime is largely tied to legal rationality, legal legitimacy and bureaucracy. The majority of the modern states of the twentieth century are rational-legal authorities, according to those who use this form of classification.
