The Politics of Precedent on the U.S. Supreme Court offers an insightful and provocative analysis of the Supreme Court's most important task--shaping the law. Thomas Hansford and James Spriggs analyze a key aspect of legal change: the Court's interpretation or treatment of the precedents it has set in the past. Court decisions do not just resolve immediate disputes; they also set broader precedent. The meaning and scope of a precedent, however, can change significantly as the Court revisits it in future cases. The authors contend that these interpretations are driven by an interaction between policy goals and variations in the legal authoritativeness of precedent. From this premise, they build an explanation of the legal interpretation of precedent that yields novel predictions about the nature and timing of legal change. Hansford and Spriggs test their hypotheses by examining how the Court has interpreted the precedents it set between 1946 and 1999. This analysis provides compelling support for their argument, and demonstrates that the justices' ideological goals and the role of precedent are inextricably linked. The two prevailing, yet contradictory, views of precedent--that it acts either solely as a constraint, or as a "cloak" that never actually influences the Court--are incorrect. This book shows that while precedent can operate as a constraint on the justices' decisions, it also represents an opportunity to foster preferred societal outcomes.

The purpose of this book is to provide precedents to cover situations faced by a company secretary or professional adviser in relation to the management of private limited companies under Irish companies’ legislation. On 1 June 2015, the Companies Act 2014 came into force in Ireland. This Act repealed almost the entire Companies Acts 1963 to 2013 (with the exception of some EU derived securities law) and consolidated them in a single act. All Irish laws relating to the formation, management, share capital, insolvency and investigation of companies are now contained in the Companies Act 2014.One of the most significant changes brought about by the Companies Act 2014 was the introduction of two types of private company limited by shares: the private company limited by shares (or the LTD); and the designated activity company limited by shares (or the DAC). The LTD is a simplified form of private company limited by shares to which a range of streamlined governance reforms apply while the DAC is more similar to the form of private company limited by shares that existed under the (now repealed) Companies Acts 1963 to 2013.The new edition updates both the commentary and the statutory forms and precedents contained in the book so as to bring them into compliance with the new regime.
