Which of the following statements about precedent is INCORRECT? Question 11Answer a. The precedent cited by the plaintiff may have persuasive value, but does not have to be followed by Justice Snow. b. As the precedent cited by the plaintiff is materially similar to the case to be decided, Justice Snow is bound to decide the case in a manner which is consistent with the judgement of the Supreme Court of Victoria. c.
