Reversing, Overruling, Disapproving and Distinguishing! Cases!! HELP Needed

[StephenBM]

Hi all, COULD NOT find any cases involving Reversing, Overruling, Disapproving and Distinguishing in my text book.

Could someone please provide me with examples where these powers have been used.

Much Appreciated!!

For reversing, an example is the Deing v. Tarola case. The original decision in the Magistrates' Court was reversed on appeal by the Supreme Court, and hence a studded belt was no longer considered a weapon. The Donoghue v. Stevenson case is another example of reversing. The other 3 methods don't really have examples/actual cases to them - at least not that I know of. Though, you could argue that the Trigwell case is an example of disapproving.

Okay, thanks heaps for that. Well should be all good then, hopefully they don't come up on my sac or the exam.

Thanks again EPL

What EPL said, also Davies V. Waldron (1989) was distinguished from Gillard V. Wenborn (1988) on the basis that an intoxicated person must be at risk of driving.

i uploaded notes for AOS 3 with a definition and example for each except for an example for overruling, however there is one for it in J & O, but its very complex, I didn't think it would be worth learning

Overruling = Baker v Campbell
It's in the old Justice & Outcomes textbook, it's definitely preferable to AON Risk Services

something about legal privelege
