When to call the attention of the court to its previous pronouncement

As Oputa, JSC so aptly observed in Fawehinmi v. N.B.A. (No.2) (1989) 2NWLR (Pt. 105) 558.

“It is good to call the court’s attention to its pronouncements in a previous case, but the facts of the case must be the same or similar before a decision in one can be used and even at that used as “a guide to the decision in another case”.
