it’s not wrong. Each court can bind the lower court. The case I quoted was a decided case because it was upheld at the court of appeal. I knew that when I posted it because I read it at the time. @denso13 got all excited because he thought I’d mistakenly said the crown court had power to create a binding rule for all other courts. In fact I referenced the crown court briefing because it contained the key elements. The court of appeal was very brief. It is convention to quote the ruling court when an appeal has been fully dismissed.
Further crown court rulings do bind magistrates courts.
