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.
