Actavis UK Ltd v Merck and Co Inc
Court of Appeal
“Unlike human rights law, where the Court of Appeal had to refer to the House of Lords a case involving a decision of the European Court of Human Rights which conflicted with an earlier Court of Appeal decision, since patent law was much more specialist than human rights law, the Court of Appeal was free to depart from its own previous decision where it was satisfied that the European Patent Office Boards of Appeal had formed a settled view of European patent law which was inconsistent with that earlier decision.”

Regina v B – Times Law Reports
Court of Appeal
“The Court of Appeal, Criminal Division, would not give the Crown leave to appeal unless it was seriously arguable, not that a judge in exercising his discretion or making his judgment in the course of a criminal trial might have decided differently, but that it was unreasonable for him to have done it in the way he had.”
