That is not an established precedent. (It's not what that case decided.)


Its not specifically established but its the only compatible ruling that the law can really make here. There is a lot of very similar precedence, there was a legaleagle on this which went through the likely legal outcome


Given a nation* that decides "corporations are people" and "money is speech", let's not be unduly optimistic about (even temporary) legislation or interpretation.

Corporate personhood is a common legal practice, where necessary the law distinguishes between "persons" and "natural persons".

That's the same in the US/UK/AU/NZ/CA/DE/JP/IN.

The difference in the US is that SCOTUS basically made it impossible to restrict corporate spending on politics. That is what needs to be fixed in the US, not Corporate Personhood.
