Discretion

Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

When there is no fixed rule about what should be done in a particular situation, and a person or organisation making a decision has freedom to use their own judgement. For example, your local council has discretion over whether to charge for some services.
