How have the courts in Northern Ireland considered the facts of two separate cases in the same jurisdiction?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Dixon v. Merland Explorations Ltd., 1984 CanLII 1153 (AB QB):
I agree with the comments expressed in M’Carton v. Belfast Harbour Commr., [1911] 2 I.R. 143 at 145: … it is an endless and unprofitable task to compare the details of one case with the details of another, in order to establish that the conclusion from the evidence in the one must be adopted in the other also. Given the rule of law, the facts of each case must be independently considered, in order to see whether they bring it within the rule or not.
