Basically how precedents relate to the hierarchy of courts is that all the lower level courts within the judicial system applies the rule of law or precedent that was created at the court above them. For example, since the privy council is the highest level in the hierarchy of courts, in fact, the court of appeal, the supreme, resident magistrate and even petty sessions courts would apply the decisions made in similar cases.

Is a precedent in an earlier court decision of little value or none at all to a later court hearing a case with similar circumstances?

'Precedent' applies in determining the 'Principles'-of-law only, settled by, higher courts, in other similarly circumstanced cases. This may support in citations, later,on argument stages, in another given case while similar situation arises . Not that, precedent demands to be applied on general bassis . Moreover, in trial stages, the application of this theory is not possible to be applied. Thanks.

What is the importance of precedent?

Canada and most of its provinces (except Quebec) follow the common law system. One of the key principles of this system is that the law should be applied uniformly. Case law sets a precedent for how the law applies to specific situations, and courts make heavy use of it to ensure that the law is being consistently applied. Once a court rules on a matter of law, the courts are bound by the precedent, though a higher court may overturn the ruling and, of course, Parliament can amend the law.
