Primarily restricted to formal legal contexts involving courts or official tribunals. Unlike general decisions, it carries the weight of a binding authority that determines guilt, liability, or the outcome of a legal dispute.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for personal choices or casual opinions, as it sounds overly dramatic and legally technical in everyday conversation. Use 決定 instead for general decisions.
