Privy Council in relation to obiter dicta?

In: UK Law and Legal Issues [Edit categories]

Answer:

When Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council exercises its judicial functions (through the Judicial Committee), Law Lords may make statements that are not technically a part of the decision, but are nonetheless relevant to establish the context of the decision or to explain an area of law. Such comments that are not part of the decision are obiter dictum.
