Judiciary

The following is a statement about Ecuador. What similarities or
differences do you find between this example and the judicial system
in India?
“It would be helpful if a body of common law, or judicial precedent,
existed that could clarify a journalist’s rights. Unfortunately,
Ecuador’s courts don’t work that way. Judges are not forced to
respect the rulings of higher courts in previous cases. Unlike the
US, an appellate judge in Ecuador (or elsewhere in South America,
for that matter) need not provide a written decision explaining
the legal basis of a ruling. A judge may rule one way today and
the opposite way, in a similar case, tomorrow, without explaining
why.”
