Vallejos v Commissioner of Registration
Vallejos and Domingo v. Commissioner of Registration was a court case against the government of Hong Kong by two foreign domestic helpers (FDHs) seeking permanent residence and the right of abode in Hong Kong. Because of its subject matter it was commonly referred to in the media as the FDHs' right of abode case (外傭居港權案). Evangeline Vallejos and Daniel Domingo were two of five applicants who in various groups filed three right of abode lawsuits in 2010; the ruling in Vallejos' case was expected to be a precedent for the other two.
Quill Corp. v. North Dakota
South Dakota was the first state to complete its bill and establish the need for a Supreme Court judicial review. In October 2017, the state of South Dakota filed a petition for "certiorari" in the U.S. Supreme Court urging it to "abrogate "Quill"s sales-tax-only, physical-presence requirement". In the petition for "certiorari", under the case name "South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc.", South Dakota noted that advances in computer technology have made it easier to determine appropriate sales tax based on the purchaser's location and requiring such "poses a minimal obstacle" in an era where retailers can easily tailor their online marketing based on customers' IP addresses. South Dakota argued that "Quill" should be overturned and that the case satisfied the Supreme Court's criteria for declining to overturn its previous ruling under the doctrine of "stare decisis". The Court agreed to hear the case in January 2018, with arguments heard in April 2018. The Court ruled in June 2018 on a 5-4 decision that the physical presence aspect of "Quill" was "unsound and incorrect" with the state of current technology, and overturned "Quill" along with the remaining parts of "National Bellas Hess".
