It doesn't have to "enforce"its decision (that's not the court's job), when a higher court acts on the case that is the law. Everybody is supposed to obey the law. If not the police, FBI, other enforcement agencies or methods are in place to enforce the higher courts decision. However a large part of what lawyers do in all courts is cite previous court decisions of other courts at all levels to convince the judge in their case that they are interpreting the law correctly for the benefit of their client.
