Abstract
This chapter discusses the extent to which the House of Lords is bound to follow its own previous decisions, and the extent to which it ought to be bound to do so, together with the extent to which there is, and ought to be, any difference between civil and criminal cases for the present purposes. However, it is useful to begin with a brief consideration of the historical perspective.
