To distinguish means to note a significant difference or dissimilarity (usually between cases); to make a distinction. A party usually distinguishes one case from another as part of the argument that because of a certain distinction, the court’s decision in the first case should not apply as precedent (stare decisis) to the second case, despite any factual similarities between the cases.
