NOTE The edited judgments of all cited cases in these chapters are laid out in an appendix in order of importance as follows.
One star cases are of no real importance.
Two stars indicate cases fairly unimportant cases. They may be worth Brownie points, for example because they are recent cases or illustrate legal principles derived from more important cases.
Three star cases are nice to know but not vital. They may be worth citing, for example because they are recent cases; illustrate legal principles; or follow previous cases.
Four star cases are important and should be quoted where appropriate.
Five star cases are leading cases. If not quoted in an exam, where relevant, then you are likely to score very badly - if not fail.
