Encyclopedia Britannica



PREJUDICE (Lat. praejudicium)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 277 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PREJUDICE (Lat. praejudicium) , literally
judgment
  or decision beforehand, which in classical usage meant a precedent, a preceding
judgment
 , also a
special
  form of judicial examination precedent to a trial, especially in matters
relating
  to status. The transferred sense, of injury or damage inflicted by decisions or judgments disregarding interests affected, does not appear till
post
 -classical times in Latin. This last use of damage appears in
English
  in relation to legal matters, especially in the phrase " without
prejudice
 ," i.e. without detriment to rights or claims. When two parties are negotiating for the
settlement
  of a dispute, statements or admissions made by or on behalf of either, with a stipulation, expressed or implied, that the statements are made " without
prejudice
  " to the party's claims in the dispute, cannot be put in
evidence
  in litigation to settle the dispute (see
EVIDENCE
 ). The
general
  meaning of the word is that of
opinion
 , favourable or hostile, based on prepossessions, and therefore biassed or unreasonable.
