英美法判例制度主要有两个作用:一是参考作用,一是约束作用。参考作用,是指如果法院认为一个判例的判决原则或法律理念是正确的,法官在审判时可以适用这个案例。而约束作用,是指如果法院认为一个判例是错误的,但按照法律的规定,该判例对法院有约束力,那么,法院即使认为这个判例是错误的,仍要遵从这个案例。
Anglo-American legal precedent system has two main roles: First, the reference role, first, the binding effect. Reference function means that if the court considers that the judgment principle or legal concept of a case is correct, the judge can apply this case at the trial. Constraint means that if the court finds a precedent wrong, the precedent is binding on the court as required by law, and the court still obeys the case even if it is found to be wrong.
