Precedent is a component of common law
Common law precedent simply refers to the tradition in the Anglo-American legal system of following the rules set down in previous cases involving the same facts. As such, there is no particular time when common law precedent was enacted or affected as a general matter. Each particular precedent came into being when the first case that addressed the issue was decided.
common law is based on precedent rather on statute law
A precedent is a principle or rule that was established in a previous legal case. Precedent is used in cases with similar facts and background. The use of precedent allows for stability in common law rulings.
It makes no difference if the noun antecedent is a common noun or a proper noun because that does not affect the pronoun used.
