Abstract

Current theories of precedential constraint attempt to incorporate dimensions into the reasons for decisions. We argue that this is an unnecessary complication, and precedential constraint can be handled using only factors. In our account the role of dimensions is to organise facts, and their effect operates at the factor ascription level, prior to precedential constraint being applied.
