Neil Duxbury examines how precedents constrain legal decision-makers and how legal decision-makers are able to relax those constraints. In doing so, he shows that no single principle explains the authority of precedent; instead there are a number of arguments which raise rebuttable presumptions in favour of precedent-following.
