Abstract

I explore a factor-based model of precedential constraint that, unlike existing models, does not rely on the assumption that the background set of precedent cases is consistent. The model I consider is a generalization of the reason model of precedential constraint that was suggested by Horty. I show that, within this framework, inconsistent case bases behave in a sensible and interesting way, both from a logical and a more practical perspective.
