joint decision

Mutual choice made

A joint decision is one made together by two or more parties rather than unilaterally.

The term emphasizes shared responsibility and mutual agreement: The couple made a joint decision to move closer to her parents.

It appears frequently in legal, business, and family contexts where multiple stakeholders have authority or interest in the outcome.
