Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Stare decisis" is a Latin phrase used to define doctrine or policy of following rules and principles applied in previous judicial decisions. It is a consideration, not a principle and can be broken if the previous decision contravenes the ordinary principles of justice.

The only branch that can create laws is the legislative branch.

I hope this answer helps you.
