Oh and the US and UK share what is called "common law" system as well in which decision by the courts are able to referenced as what the law is as well.

So if the legislator writes a law making apples illegal, but a court decided that wasnt true for guys named John, then when someone is charged for it they could cite the "not Johns" ruling as why it shouldn't apply to them.
