PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.

payee‟ or „Not Negotiable‟.

delivery and requires no endorsement.

An order cheque is one which is payable to a particular
person. In such a cheque the word „bearer‟ may be cut
out or cancelled and the word „order‟ may be written. The
payee can transfer an order cheque to someone else by
