[Rockingham]

Major court cases arise because the law is unclear in concept or in application. Without stare decisis, there would be no continuity in judicial decisions because they could vary from week to the next and from one party to another. There would be no certainty and predictability to the law. Judicial decisions would be like a bus transfer: good for one day, and only for the passenger to whom it was issued.

That is a sure sign we have too many laws.
