About this document

Stare Decisis Challenges in Malaysia by Luna latrisya is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses the doctrine of stare decisis, or precedent, in Malaysia. It notes that [1] according to the doctrine, lower courts are generally bound by decisions of higher courts, but there are exceptions.

[3] The document then examines how stare decisis operates in England and Malaysia, noting the Federal Court has sparingly departed from its own precedents when appropriate.
