Palm tree justice and the strange death of precedent - De Than, C & Tattersall, B
The authors tackle the inconsistencies found in several recent Court of Appeal decisions, with a reliance on facts of the case and seemingly little recourse to precedent. They seek to discover if this trend is merely historical accident or that a larger principle is at work. Areas of criminal law considered include theft, strict liability, sexual offences and conspiracy to supply drugs. 2001 JCL 262
