In Roberto and Kayleigh's case, the judge who orders that the fence be removed because of no survey,  relies on b. precedent.

What is a precedent?

A precedent is an earlier law or court decision.

A precedent provides some example or guiding rule when deciding a case.

The purposes of relying on precedents are to avoid time wastage and to use the previous case as an authority for subsequent cases involving identical or similar facts or legal issues.

Precedent is an established rule under the doctrine of stare decisis.

Thus, in this case, the prior case upon which the judge relies is b. precedent.
