John of Gaunt was an English royal figure born in 1340, the third surviving son of Edward III. His title, John of Gaunt, represents his birthplace, Ghent in modern Belgium. He is known for being the father of Henry IV and the founder of the House of Lancaster, one branch of the Plantagenet dynasty which came into conflict with their dynastic rivals, the House of York, during the Wars of the Roses. He also became infamous due to his unpopularity during his rule as regent for his nephew, Richard II, and his ambitions in Spain, Portugal, and France. He died in 1399.

Ex tempore (Latin for out of the moment“) is a legal term that means at the time. A judge who hands down a decision in a case soon or straight after hearing it is delivering a decision ex tempore. Another way a judge may deliver a decision is to reserve their decision and deliver it later in written form. An ex tempore judgment, being off the cuff, does not entail the same preparation as a reserved decision. Consequently, it will not be thought out to the same degree.
In Australia, intermediate-level courts tend to have a heavy case load, and so many decisions are delivered ex tempore for reasons of time and necessity. Because many decisions are ex tempore, intermediate-level courts decisions are not binding on inferior courts - that is to say, that in New South Wales, the District Courts decisions are not binding on the Local Court (see Valentine v Eid (1992) 27 NSWLR 615 and stare decisis).
Ex tempore decisions are not binding on later courts due to the quick nature of their delivery after the hearing of a case. Therefore, these decisions are of persuasive authority only and a later court, dealing with a case of similar facts, can reach a different conclusion if it is appropriate and the court in question believes that their decision is more suitable.

A tilting board, also known as a wobble board, balance board or rocking board, is a device used for balance training, physical therapy, athletic training, brain development, and rehabilitation exercises. It typically consists of a flat surface on top of a curved or semi-spherical base, causing the board to tilt and wobble when weight is applied, challenging the users balance and coordination.
