“[Jjudicial precedent attaches a specific legal consequence to a detailed set of facts in an adjudged case or judicial decision, which is then considered as furnishing the rule for the determination of a subsequent case involving identical or similar material facts and arising in the same court or a lower court in the judicial hierarchy. Allegheny General Hospital v. NLRB, 608 F.2d 965 , 969-970 (3rd Cir.1979) (footnote omitted). Stare decisis is the policy of the court to stand by precedent; the term is but an abbreviation of stare decisis et non quieta movere — “to stand by and adhere to decisions and not disturb what is settled.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The goal of the distribution scheme in Chapter 7 liquidations ... is to ensure that all parties have an opportunity to collect from the estate’s limited assets.... In stark contrast, a Chapter 13 debtor retains the assets of the estate in exchange for an agreement to make periodic payments to the creditors ... Accordingly, if late-filed claims are not barred in Chapter 13 actions, it would not be possible to determine with finality whether a Chapter 13 plan satisfies [the standard of § 1325(a)(4) ].”
