Clues
- 'A decision in a case where there is no previous legal decision or law for the judge to use.' This leads to judges making law. (8, 9)
- 'A decision which states that a legal rule in an earlier case is wrong.' e.g. in Pepper v Hart the house of Lords overruled Davis v Johnson on the use of the Hansard (10)
- 'A method of avoiding a previous decision because facts in the present case are different.' e.g. Balfour v Balfour and Merritt v Merritt (14)
- 'A previous decision which does not have to be followed.' The court may be persuaded that the same legal decision should be made. (10, 9)
- 'A previous decision which has to be followed.' Decisions of previous courts bind lower courts. (7, 9)
- 'Other things said.' The other parts of the judgement -these do not create law. (6, 5)
- 'Reasons for deciding.' The part of the judgement which creates the law. (5, 9)
- 'Stand by what has been decided.' Follow the law decided in previous cases for certainty and fairness. (5, 7)
- 'Where a higher court in the same case overturns the decision in the lower court.' This can only happen if there is an appeal in the case. (9)
