Doctrine of precedent in common law
A Latin phrase describes the rule that courts follow established decisions unless doing so would violate basic principles of justice. The doctrine emphasizes stare decisis and consistency in case outcomes across the judiciary.
Chamber Urges Simplified Tax Plan With Long Term Goals
The chamber proposes a simplified tax plan including a three year loss carryover, capital gains provision tweaks, annual value declarations under the capital stock levy, restoration of consolidated returns, and removal of double taxation on intercorporate dividends. Alvord says the program aims for a revenue system lasting about 10 years and includes reducing high individual surtaxes and estate tax revisions. He notes a flat 15 percent corporate levy could yield a large tax base, surpassing Roosevelt's requested corporation tax revenue.
