nounpl: recommendatory decisions
decisão recomendatória
1. A judicial or administrative ruling that suggests or advises a course of action rather than imposing a binding obligation; a decision that carries persuasive weight but is not mandatory

2. In legal contexts, a determination by a lower authority or tribunal that guides but does not conclusively bind a higher authority

This term is primarily used in formal legal, administrative, and corporate contexts in both Brazil and the United States. In Brazil, it's common in decisions issued by regulatory agencies (like ANATEL or ANVISA) and lower courts that require higher-level approval. In the US legal system, recommendatory decisions often appear in arbitration proceedings, administrative hearings, and appellate recommendations. The distinction between binding and non-binding decisions is crucial in both legal systems for understanding the enforceability of rulings.
