Read a random definition: right of fishery

A quick definition of first impression, case of:

A first impression, case of is a legal situation where a court has to decide on a legal issue that has never been decided before in that area. It's like a new problem that needs to be solved. A case can be active, which means it's still going on, or inactive, which means it's not moving forward. Sometimes, parties in a case can agree on the facts and submit a written statement to the court, which is called a case stated or case agreed on. A test case is a lawsuit brought to establish an important legal principle or right. It's like a way to test if something is legal or not. A case can also refer to a criminal investigation, a person involved in the criminal justice system, an argument, or a situation.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A legal case that presents a new issue of law that has not been decided before by any controlling legal authority in that jurisdiction.

Example: A case involving a new technology that has not been addressed by previous court decisions would be considered a case of first impression.

This means that the court has to make a decision based on its own interpretation of the law, without any previous legal precedent to guide it. This can be a challenging task for judges, as they must carefully consider the facts of the case and the relevant legal principles in order to arrive at a fair and just decision.
