1st What was the common law before the making of the Act
2nd What was the mischief and defect for which the common law did not provide
3rd What remedy the Parliament hath resolved and appointed to cure the disease of the Common wealth and
4th The true reason of the remedy and then the office of all the judges is always to make such construction as shall suppress the mischief and advance the remedy and to suppress subtle inventions and evasions for continuance of the mischief and pro privato commodo and to add force and life to the cure and remedy according to the true intent of the makers of the Act pro bono publico

There is nothing in our Constitution which prevents us from departing from a previous decision if we are convinced of its error and its baneful effect on the general interests of the public
ǤƬͶǡǡ13Ǥǣ
Stare decisis is usually the wise policy because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled right This is commonly true even where the error is a matter of serious concern provided correction can be had by legislation But in cases involving the Federal Constitution where correction through legislative action is practically impossible this Court has often overruled its earlier decisions The Court bows to the lessons of experience and the force of better reasoning recognising that the process of trial and error so fruitful in the physical sciences is appropriate also in the judicial function

Their Lordships are unable to hold that this proposition stated in such an extreme from is established It may well be said that the Board would hesitate long before disturbing a solemn decision by a previous Board which raised an identical or even a similar issue for determination but for the proposition that the Board is in all circumstances bound to follow a previous decision as it were blindfold they are unable to discover any adequate authority In other words no inflexible rule which falls in all circumstances to be applied has been laid down

In my opinion it is impossible to maintain an abstract proposition that Court is either legally or technically bound by previous decisions Indeed it may in a proper case be its duty to disregard them But the rule should be applied with great caution and only when the previous

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law

1st What was the common law before the making of the Act
2nd What was the mischief and defect for which the common law did not provide
3rd What remedy the Parliament hath resolved and appointed to cure the disease of the Common wealth and
4th The true reason of the remedy and then the office of all the judges is always to make such construction as shall suppress the mischief and advance the remedy and to suppress subtle inventions and evasions for continuance of the mischief and pro privato commodo and to add force and life to the cure and remedy according to the true intent of the makers of the Act pro bono publico

There is nothing in our Constitution which prevents us from departing from a previous decision if we are convinced of its error and its baneful effect on the general interests of the public
ǤƬͶǡǡ13Ǥǣ
Stare decisis is usually the wise policy because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled right This is commonly true even where the error is a matter of serious concern provided correction can be had by legislation But in cases involving the Federal Constitution where correction through legislative action is practically impossible this Court has often overruled its earlier decisions The Court bows to the lessons of experience and the force of better reasoning recognising that the process of trial and error so fruitful in the physical sciences is appropriate also in the judicial function

Their Lordships are unable to hold that this proposition stated in such an extreme from is established It may well be said that the Board would hesitate long before disturbing a solemn decision by a previous Board which raised an identical or even a similar issue for determination but for the proposition that the Board is in all circumstances bound to follow a previous decision as it were blindfold they are unable to discover any adequate authority In other words no inflexible rule which falls in all circumstances to be applied has been laid down

In my opinion it is impossible to maintain an abstract proposition that Court is either legally or technically bound by previous decisions Indeed it may in a proper case be its duty to disregard them But the rule should be applied with great caution and only when the previous

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law

1st What was the common law before the making of the Act
2nd What was the mischief and defect for which the common law did not provide
3rd What remedy the Parliament hath resolved and appointed to cure the disease of the Common wealth and
4th The true reason of the remedy and then the office of all the judges is always to make such construction as shall suppress the mischief and advance the remedy and to suppress subtle inventions and evasions for continuance of the mischief and pro privato commodo and to add force and life to the cure and remedy according to the true intent of the makers of the Act pro bono publico

There is nothing in our Constitution which prevents us from departing from a previous decision if we are convinced of its error and its baneful effect on the general interests of the public
ǤƬͶǡǡ13Ǥǣ
Stare decisis is usually the wise policy because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled right This is commonly true even where the error is a matter of serious concern provided correction can be had by legislation But in cases involving the Federal Constitution where correction through legislative action is practically impossible this Court has often overruled its earlier decisions The Court bows to the lessons of experience and the force of better reasoning recognising that the process of trial and error so fruitful in the physical sciences is appropriate also in the judicial function

Their Lordships are unable to hold that this proposition stated in such an extreme from is established It may well be said that the Board would hesitate long before disturbing a solemn decision by a previous Board which raised an identical or even a similar issue for determination but for the proposition that the Board is in all circumstances bound to follow a previous decision as it were blindfold they are unable to discover any adequate authority In other words no inflexible rule which falls in all circumstances to be applied has been laid down

In my opinion it is impossible to maintain an abstract proposition that Court is either legally or technically bound by previous decisions Indeed it may in a proper case be its duty to disregard them But the rule should be applied with great caution and only when the previous

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law

2nd What was the mischief and defect for which the common law did not provide
3rd What remedy the Parliament hath resolved and appointed to cure the disease of the Common wealth and
4th The true reason of the remedy and then the office of all the judges is always to make such construction as shall suppress the mischief and advance the remedy and to suppress subtle inventions and evasions for continuance of the mischief and pro privato commodo and to add force and life to the cure and remedy according to the true intent of the makers of the Act pro bono publico

There is nothing in our Constitution which prevents us from departing from a previous decision if we are convinced of its error and its baneful effect on the general interests of the public
ǤƬͶǡǡ13Ǥǣ
Stare decisis is usually the wise policy because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled right This is commonly true even where the error is a matter of serious concern provided correction can be had by legislation But in cases involving the Federal Constitution where correction through legislative action is practically impossible this Court has often overruled its earlier decisions The Court bows to the lessons of experience and the force of better reasoning recognising that the process of trial and error so fruitful in the physical sciences is appropriate also in the judicial function

Their Lordships are unable to hold that this proposition stated in such an extreme from is established It may well be said that the Board would hesitate long before disturbing a solemn decision by a previous Board which raised an identical or even a similar issue for determination but for the proposition that the Board is in all circumstances bound to follow a previous decision as it were blindfold they are unable to discover any adequate authority In other words no inflexible rule which falls in all circumstances to be applied has been laid down

In my opinion it is impossible to maintain an abstract proposition that Court is either legally or technically bound by previous decisions Indeed it may in a proper case be its duty to disregard them But the rule should be applied with great caution and only when the previous

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law

2nd What was the mischief and defect for which the common law did not provide
3rd What remedy the Parliament hath resolved and appointed to cure the disease of the Common wealth and
4th The true reason of the remedy and then the office of all the judges is always to make such construction as shall suppress the mischief and advance the remedy and to suppress subtle inventions and evasions for continuance of the mischief and pro privato commodo and to add force and life to the cure and remedy according to the true intent of the makers of the Act pro bono publico

There is nothing in our Constitution which prevents us from departing from a previous decision if we are convinced of its error and its baneful effect on the general interests of the public
ǤƬͶǡǡ13Ǥǣ
Stare decisis is usually the wise policy because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled right This is commonly true even where the error is a matter of serious concern provided correction can be had by legislation But in cases involving the Federal Constitution where correction through legislative action is practically impossible this Court has often overruled its earlier decisions The Court bows to the lessons of experience and the force of better reasoning recognising that the process of trial and error so fruitful in the physical sciences is appropriate also in the judicial function

Their Lordships are unable to hold that this proposition stated in such an extreme from is established It may well be said that the Board would hesitate long before disturbing a solemn decision by a previous Board which raised an identical or even a similar issue for determination but for the proposition that the Board is in all circumstances bound to follow a previous decision as it were blindfold they are unable to discover any adequate authority In other words no inflexible rule which falls in all circumstances to be applied has been laid down

In my opinion it is impossible to maintain an abstract proposition that Court is either legally or technically bound by previous decisions Indeed it may in a proper case be its duty to disregard them But the rule should be applied with great caution and only when the previous

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law

2nd What was the mischief and defect for which the common law did not provide
3rd What remedy the Parliament hath resolved and appointed to cure the disease of the Common wealth and
4th The true reason of the remedy and then the office of all the judges is always to make such construction as shall suppress the mischief and advance the remedy and to suppress subtle inventions and evasions for continuance of the mischief and pro privato commodo and to add force and life to the cure and remedy according to the true intent of the makers of the Act pro bono publico

There is nothing in our Constitution which prevents us from departing from a previous decision if we are convinced of its error and its baneful effect on the general interests of the public
ǤƬͶǡǡ13Ǥǣ
Stare decisis is usually the wise policy because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled right This is commonly true even where the error is a matter of serious concern provided correction can be had by legislation But in cases involving the Federal Constitution where correction through legislative action is practically impossible this Court has often overruled its earlier decisions The Court bows to the lessons of experience and the force of better reasoning recognising that the process of trial and error so fruitful in the physical sciences is appropriate also in the judicial function

Their Lordships are unable to hold that this proposition stated in such an extreme from is established It may well be said that the Board would hesitate long before disturbing a solemn decision by a previous Board which raised an identical or even a similar issue for determination but for the proposition that the Board is in all circumstances bound to follow a previous decision as it were blindfold they are unable to discover any adequate authority In other words no inflexible rule which falls in all circumstances to be applied has been laid down

In my opinion it is impossible to maintain an abstract proposition that Court is either legally or technically bound by previous decisions Indeed it may in a proper case be its duty to disregard them But the rule should be applied with great caution and only when the previous

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law

1st What was the common law before the making of the Act
2nd What was the mischief and defect for which the common law did not provide
3rd What remedy the Parliament hath resolved and appointed to cure the disease of the Common wealth and
4th The true reason of the remedy and then the office of all the judges is always to make such construction as shall suppress the mischief and advance the remedy and to suppress subtle inventions and evasions for continuance of the mischief and pro privato commodo and to add force and life to the cure and remedy according to the true intent of the makers of the Act pro bono publico

There is nothing in our Constitution which prevents us from departing from a previous decision if we are convinced of its error and its baneful effect on the general interests of the public
ǤƬͶǡǡ13Ǥǣ
Stare decisis is usually the wise policy because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled right This is commonly true even where the error is a matter of serious concern provided correction can be had by legislation But in cases involving the Federal Constitution where correction through legislative action is practically impossible this Court has often overruled its earlier decisions The Court bows to the lessons of experience and the force of better reasoning recognising that the process of trial and error so fruitful in the physical sciences is appropriate also in the judicial function

Their Lordships are unable to hold that this proposition stated in such an extreme from is established It may well be said that the Board would hesitate long before disturbing a solemn decision by a previous Board which raised an identical or even a similar issue for determination but for the proposition that the Board is in all circumstances bound to follow a previous decision as it were blindfold they are unable to discover any adequate authority In other words no inflexible rule which falls in all circumstances to be applied has been laid down

In my opinion it is impossible to maintain an abstract proposition that Court is either legally or technically bound by previous decisions Indeed it may in a proper case be its duty to disregard them But the rule should be applied with great caution and only when the previous

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law

There is nothing in our Constitution which prevents us from departing from a previous decision if we are convinced of its error and its baneful effect on the general interests of the public
ǤƬͶǡǡ13Ǥǣ
Stare decisis is usually the wise policy because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled right This is commonly true even where the error is a matter of serious concern provided correction can be had by legislation But in cases involving the Federal Constitution where correction through legislative action is practically impossible this Court has often overruled its earlier decisions The Court bows to the lessons of experience and the force of better reasoning recognising that the process of trial and error so fruitful in the physical sciences is appropriate also in the judicial function

Their Lordships are unable to hold that this proposition stated in such an extreme from is established It may well be said that the Board would hesitate long before disturbing a solemn decision by a previous Board which raised an identical or even a similar issue for determination but for the proposition that the Board is in all circumstances bound to follow a previous decision as it were blindfold they are unable to discover any adequate authority In other words no inflexible rule which falls in all circumstances to be applied has been laid down

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law

There is nothing in our Constitution which prevents us from departing from a previous decision if we are convinced of its error and its baneful effect on the general interests of the public
ǤƬͶǡǡ13Ǥǣ
Stare decisis is usually the wise policy because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled right This is commonly true even where the error is a matter of serious concern provided correction can be had by legislation But in cases involving the Federal Constitution where correction through legislative action is practically impossible this Court has often overruled its earlier decisions The Court bows to the lessons of experience and the force of better reasoning recognising that the process of trial and error so fruitful in the physical sciences is appropriate also in the judicial function

Their Lordships are unable to hold that this proposition stated in such an extreme from is established It may well be said that the Board would hesitate long before disturbing a solemn decision by a previous Board which raised an identical or even a similar issue for determination but for the proposition that the Board is in all circumstances bound to follow a previous decision as it were blindfold they are unable to discover any adequate authority In other words no inflexible rule which falls in all circumstances to be applied has been laid down

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law

1st What was the common law before the making of the Act
2nd What was the mischief and defect for which the common law did not provide
3rd What remedy the Parliament hath resolved and appointed to cure the disease of the Common wealth and
4th The true reason of the remedy and then the office of all the judges is always to make such construction as shall suppress the mischief and advance the remedy and to suppress subtle inventions and evasions for continuance of the mischief and pro privato commodo and to add force and life to the cure and remedy according to the true intent of the makers of the Act pro bono publico

ǤǤǡ͵ǡǤǤ13Ǥ ǣ
There is nothing in our Constitution which prevents us from departing from a previous decision if we are convinced of its error and its baneful effect on the general interests of the public
ǤƬͶǡǡ13Ǥǣ
Stare decisis is usually the wise policy because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled right This is commonly true even where the error is a matter of serious concern provided correction can be had by legislation But in cases involving the Federal Constitution where correction through legislative action is practically impossible this Court has often overruled its earlier decisions The Court bows to the lessons of experience and the force of better reasoning recognising that the process of trial and error so fruitful in the physical sciences is appropriate also in the judicial function

Their Lordships are unable to hold that this proposition stated in such an extreme from is established It may well be said that the Board would hesitate long before disturbing a solemn decision by a previous Board which raised an identical or even a similar issue for determination but for the proposition that the Board is in all circumstances bound to follow a previous decision as it were blindfold they are unable to discover any adequate authority In other words no inflexible rule which falls in all circumstances to be applied has been laid down

In my opinion it is impossible to maintain an abstract proposition that Court is either legally or technically bound by previous decisions Indeed it may in a proper case be its duty to disregard them But the rule should be applied with great caution and only when the previous

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law

There is nothing in our Constitution which prevents us from departing from a previous decision if we are convinced of its error and its baneful effect on the general interests of the public
ǤƬͶǡǡ13Ǥǣ
Stare decisis is usually the wise policy because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled right This is commonly true even where the error is a matter of serious concern provided correction can be had by legislation But in cases involving the Federal Constitution where correction through legislative action is practically impossible this Court has often overruled its earlier decisions The Court bows to the lessons of experience and the force of better reasoning recognising that the process of trial and error so fruitful in the physical sciences is appropriate also in the judicial function

Their Lordships are unable to hold that this proposition stated in such an extreme from is established It may well be said that the Board would hesitate long before disturbing a solemn decision by a previous Board which raised an identical or even a similar issue for determination but for the proposition that the Board is in all circumstances bound to follow a previous decision as it were blindfold they are unable to discover any adequate authority In other words no inflexible rule which falls in all circumstances to be applied has been laid down

In my opinion it is impossible to maintain an abstract proposition that Court is either legally or technically bound by previous decisions Indeed it may in a proper case be its duty to disregard them But the rule should be applied with great caution and only when the previous

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law

Their Lordships are unable to hold that this proposition stated in such an extreme from is established It may well be said that the Board would hesitate long before disturbing a solemn decision by a previous Board which raised an identical or even a similar issue for determination but for the proposition that the Board is in all circumstances bound to follow a previous decision as it were blindfold they are unable to discover any adequate authority In other words no inflexible rule which falls in all circumstances to be applied has been laid down

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law

decision is manifestly wrong as for instance if it proceeded upon the mistaken assumption of the continuance of a repealed or expired Statute or is contrary to a decision of another Court which this Court is bound to follow not I think upon a mere suggestion that some or all of the members of the later Court might arrive at a different conclusion if the matter was res integra Otherwise there would be grave danger of want of continuity in the interpretation of law

Precedents which enunciate rules of law form the foundation of administration of Justice under our system It has been held time and again that a single Judge of a High Court is ordinarily bound to accept as correct judgments of Courts of coordinate jurisdiction and of Division Benches and of the Full Benches of his Court and of this Court The reason of the rule which makes a precedent binding lies in the desire to secure uniformity and certainty in the law
