Court Hierarchies

Independent and not swayed by community pressure (ie. judicial independence)

Authoritative and consistent decisions that are subject to appeal

Equitable in recognising everybody's right to due process and a fair trial

^{(Wilmott, 2008)}

Cases can be allocated according to the nature of disputes, the complexity of the case and the amount being claimed 

Greater consistency in judgements as lower courts follow binding precedents 

Allows for the right of appeal against court decisions 

^{(Willmott, 2008)}
