Precedent book
A precedent book is a document recording procedural, legal or constitutional precedents.
Constitutional effects
It could have significant constitutional effects: so, for example, the UK Precedent Book (or Rule book),[1] written by the Cabinet Office.[2] Its archive files are subject to 30 year closure (unless otherwise stated).[3]
