stare decisis

基本解釋

Since the law never hesitates to borrow wisdom from other disciplines, Stevenson's quote is an apt summation of the doctrine of Stare Decisis.

As a basic institution of English law, the doctrine of stare decisis goes a long way before coming into being gradually depending on judges' convention and experience of decision.

The causes of dissatisfaction which lead to attacks upon stare decisis are in our technique of applying standards and in the ideal element of law which is decisive in applying standards.

遵循先例
Although equity was convenient, flexible and with skill and ease while dealing a case, although it accomplished its mission excellently and, further, promoted the development of the whole English law, although it could offer the remedies which were variously and with more pertinences, it placed a "sub-rule" position all the time. Even it defeated common law in a face-to-face controversy in 1615, it could not replace common law anyway, and instead, it absorbed the "stare decisis" principle from common law and to bea part of English case law at last.
最后分析了衡平法的特點，作用以及地位，指出衡平法盡管具有簡便和靈活的特性，在應對新型案件的場合顯得游刃有余，盡管在出色地完成了補普通法之不足的歷史使命的基礎上還通過自身的發(fā)展推進了整個英國法的發(fā)展，盡管擁有相對普通法來說更多樣且更具針對性的救濟方式，更好地滿足了人們的救濟需求，但是卻始終處于“從規(guī)則”的地位，就算在1615年與普通法的正面交鋒中取得了勝利，卻還是無法取普通法而代之，反而逐漸吸收了普通法的遵循先例原則，最終成為了英國判例法的一部分。
