Sorry, this was not meant as a reply to your post, but as a new replay to the
main topic....
Already asked PJ to correct it, since i'm too stupid to figure it out myself ;)

"This court decided in ruling X that this is so and so
because
ruling Y from some court Z said so in the past" and that's it?
Really? This is
not how a democracy is supposed to work.
Perhaps not, but that is
how Common Law (as opposed to Civil Law, as in codified law not non-criminal
law) is supposed to work: the earlier cases become case law to be efficient and
avoid having to re-judge the same things again and again, just
like:
- Mathematicians build up proofs by using Lemmas and Theorems that
are previously proved to avoid the final proof taking ages and being extremely
long by having to prove them again each time they are used;
- once it has been
learnt how to nail by using a hammer, the instructions to nail on the back of a
piece of flat-pack furniture doesn't need top include the instructions for how
to nail;
- etc
Besides, the courts seem to be glacially slow as it is so
having to have every case re-try previously tried things (ruling Y from court Z)
would make them even slower.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
