The chapter examines the extent to which judges address each other's arguments in their written judgements. It questions the idea that judicial responsibility for decisions in the common law system is individual. It analyses the structure of the English courts, the complex dissenting process within that structure, how this process is carries through by the judicial discourse community and how the process is reflected in the reporting of dissenting judgements.
