judicial deference
<p>I was reading about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_deference" rel="nofollow noreferrer">judicial deference</a> and it discusses about how the courts can defer their decision to another party (i.e., legislative or executive branch).<br>
<br>
Is that just another way of punting the decision to someone else?</p>

<p>Yes. Judicial deference means that the courts won't interfere with some other decision maker's decision.</p>
