Justice Peters is a judge of the Supreme Court of Victoria. Her Honour is presiding on a case where there is an issue about whether a contract must be in writing to be legally enforceable. The barrister for the plaintiff has cited a case in the County Court of Victoria on very

similar facts which found for the plaintiff. The barrister for the defendant has argued a case in the High Court on different facts where two judges expressed an opinion that if the facts in the facts in the defendant's case applied, they would find for the defendant.

Is Justice Peters bound to follow any of these precedents?
