| 单词 | precedent |
| 释义 | precedent precedent previously decided case. One practical aspect of justice is that like cases be treated alike; lawyers consult the reports of previ- ously decided court cases. How a particular system uses precedent is another matter. Continental systems such as the French and German allow that a series of cases interpreting the code will carry great weight. In the Anglo-American system the rules are far stricter, with courts being bound to follow previous decisions. These rules are often considered under STARE DECISIS. |
