Case Law:

The simple official definition of case law is; law established by the outcome of former cases.

The process is deciding a disputed point of “law” by a panel of judges, with the outcome being recorded, changing or clarifying the “law”, which sets a precedent in which all others courts are bound, and must apply in later cases.

This form of law is based on examples of previous cases, rather than constitutional, statute or regulatory law.

Using the detailed facts of previously resolved cases by court or similar tribunals, these decisions are used to create new “law”, adding to the ever increasing catalogue of court incidents, called Case Law.

Common Law is often confused with Case Law, as Common Law is based on judicial precedent; however this means the process of a court, NOT the outcome of the court.

Furthermore, when questioning the word “Law”, which is used within the term “Case Law” it is found to mean the Law within a contract or agreement, meaning that this is private law or contract law.

If two people are in a dispute over the law within their private contract or violation of rights, then clearly their private disagreement does not involve the lives of others not associated with the case, and if this is true and for freedom to exist it must be, then nor can the outcome of their case.

So when we apply Equity Law, or Contract Law to Case Law, then there can be no other conclusion than the outcome of any Case Law cannot be applied to anyone without contract, furthermore any attempt to do so would be a tort or even a criminal act, as it would be a violation of consent.

Case Law should be used as reference only, and cannot or should not be applied to anyone not associated to the original case.

However, those who work for corporations registered with government are bound by all forms of law.
