binding precedent is a decision of the same issue by a higher court of like jurisdiction.

A dissenting opinion (which is what I assume you meant) is a minority opinion on an issue that was not adopted by a majority of the sitting court panel.

Because the USA is a foreign country and has the same status in british law as China or Saudi Arabia and you would never imagine legal precedents there being quoted. Australia, New Zealand and Canada are part of the British Commonwealth and much more closely identifiable with Britain
