What is judicial activism in regard to doctrine of precedent?
The doctrine of judicial precedent* refers to the process by which judges follow previously decided cases. Courts at the top of the hierarchy are of more significance so their decisions carry greater legal weight than lower or inferior court decisions. In the UK, the House of Lords binds lower courts, but not itself. Even though its ability to depart from previous decisions is wide it uses this power with great discretion, following guidelines laid out in the Practice Statement Judicial Precedent of 1966. *Another name of the doctrine is "stare decisis". ("Stare" is pronounced "starry" or "staray"; decisis rhymes with crisis with the "c" pronounced as an "s".) It is Latin for "the decision stands".

What are the key features of the doctrine of judicial precedent?
The doctrine of judicial precedent is at the heart of the Common Law system of rights and duties. The courts are bound (within prescribed limits) by prior decisions of superior courts. Adherence to precedent helps achieve two objects of the legal order. Firstly it contributes to the maintenance of a regime of stable laws. This stability gives predictability to the law and affords a degree of security for individual rights. Secondly it ensures that the law develops only in accordance with the changing perceptions of the community and therefore more accurately reflects the morals and expectations of the community.
