in the common law tradition, courts decide the law applicable to a case by interpreting statutes and applying precedents, which record how and why prior cases have been decided. unlike most civil law systems, common law systems follow the doctrine of stare decisis, by which most courts are bound by their own previous decisions in similar cases. according to stare decisis, all lower courts should make decisions consistent with the previous decisions of higher courts. for example, in england, the high court and the court of appeals are each bound by their own previous decisions, however, since 1966 the supreme court of the united kingdom can deviate from its earlier decisions, although in practice the supreme court of the united kingdom rarely does. a notable example of when the court has overturned its precedent is, in the case of r v jogee; where the supreme court of the united kingdom ruled that they and the other courts of england and wales had misapplied the law for nearly 30 years.
