German term or phrase: Analogieverbot
Der Verzicht des Gesetzgebers auf ein höheres Abstraktionsniveau der Strafgesetze nötigt daher den Rechtsanwender in einem besonders hohem Maße zu einer Gratwanderung zwischen – unerlaubter – (strafbegründender oder strafschärfender) richterlicher Rechtsfortbildung contra legem oder praeter legem (echter Verstoß gegen das Analogieverbot, Auslegung gegen den Wortlaut und den Sinn des Gesetzes) oder – erlaubter – richterlicher Rechtsauslegung und ﷓fortbildung secundum legem, also ergänzende, lückenfüllende Rechtsfortbildung.

bona fide violation of the rule against the use of precedent


Explanation:
I think is what they mean. Continental law does not permit precedent (the same type offense committed by someone else under identical circumstances some time ago) to be used as comparative case study in guiding a court's decision-making; unlike Anglo-Saxon law which very much is based on precedent for lack of an all-encompassing law codex.
