Maybe you need to follow the context of the precedent a little more closely.

Maybe YOU need to know what a legal 'precedent' actually is!

precedent
1) n. a prior reported opinion of an appeals court which establishes the legal rule (authority) in the future on the same legal question decided in the prior judgment.
