Topic: Delegation (law)

	Delegation (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Delegation is a term used in the law of contracts to describe the act of giving another person the responsibility of carrying out the performance agreed to in a contract.
		A parallel concept to delegation is assignment, which occurs when one party transfers his present rights to receive the benefits accruing to the assignor under that contract.
		Another common law rule requires that a party to a contract can not delegate performance that involves special skills or reputation (although it is possible to have a novation under such circumstances).

	Common law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the separate courts were merged long ago in most jurisdictions, or at least all courts were permitted to apply both law and equity, the distinction between law and equity remains important in categorising and prioritising rights to property, and in the principles that apply to the grant of equitable remedies by the courts.
		The common law, as applied in civil cases (as distinct from criminal cases), was devised as a means of compensating someone for wrongful acts known as torts, including both intentional torts and torts caused by negligence, and as developing the body of law recognizing and regulating contracts.
		In England, courts of law and equity were combined by the Judicature Acts of 1873 and 1875, with equity being supreme in case of conflict.

		Delegation, the critics charge, relieves our elected representatives of their responsibility to make law and binds us to the will of unaccountable bureaucrats.
		Thus, delegation is actually a means of so-lidifying the influence of interest groups; the appearance of inde-pendent deliberation or guardianship of higher values is an illu-sion.
		To say that delegation makes Congress more responsive to interest groups than to citizens generally is akin to saying that delegation connects the law more reliably to the preferences of the parties who care about the law the most, since they are the ones who will have the incentive to form an effective interest group.

		Perhaps refining the delegation doctrine, at least in cases where Fifth Amendment due process interests are implicated, the Court held that a government agency charged with the efficient administration of the executive branch could not assert the broader interests that Congress or the President might have in barring lawfully resident aliens from government employment.

	Nadine Strossen, Delegation as a Danger to Liberty
		First, delegation shifts power from Congress and the President — two highly visible institutions that are responsive to a broad spectrum of interests — to various agencies, commissions, and boards — lower-visibility institutions that are attuned to only a small subset of all the interests.
		The fourth respect in which delegation threatens liberty is consolidation of lawmaking and law enforcement power in the same hands.
		The upshot of this delegation was that the FCC got to be both lawmaker and law enforcer over the content of constitutionally protected speech to boot.
