(В - 2 hours) Warming up 1. What would happen if there were no laws? Write down 10 sentences. 2. What do you know about the doctrine of precedent? Do you know the difference between declaratory and original precedent/between binding and persuasive one? 3. Explain the doctrine of judicial precedent and how it operates within the English system of case law.
Doctrine of Judicial Precedent Judicial precedent is based on the Latin maxim stare decisis (the legal principle of determining points in litigation according to precedent) which roughly means‘stand by what has already been decided’. This means that judgements reached in earlier cases should be followed in later cases unless there are sound reasons why they should not be. In other words, judges can create binding precedents by the judgements they make because other courts are bound to follow these judgements. This system provides fairness and certainty in the law because defendants can expect to be treated fairly no matter where the case is heard, and the courts will be reasonably certain how the law should be applied in particular cases. Precedent can only operate effectively if the legal reasons for past decisions are made clear. Therefore, at the end of a case, the judge will make a speech giving his decision and, most importantly, giving his reasons for his decision. This is called the ratio decidendi (reason for deciding), and it is the part of the judgement in which the judge explains the principles of law upon which his decision is based. This is what creates a precedent for judges to follow in future, similar cases. Judgements made by a higher court are binding on all courts beneath them.[6] Learn the new words
