TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown a sentence, and you should determine whether it is overruling or non-overruling. In law, an overruling sentence is a statement that nullifies a previous case decision as a precedent by a constitutionally valid statute or a decision by the same or higher ranking court which establishes a different rule on the point of law involved. Classify your answers into overruling or non-overruling
PROBLEM: to the extent that hoover, isom, birch, williams, and any other prior cases are inconsistent with our holding today, they are hereby expressly overruled.

SOLUTION: overruling

PROBLEM: we disapprove the statements in the opinion on rehearing in day that implied the contrary, and (like the author of those statements) we disapprove the decisions that have held the contrary.

SOLUTION: overruling

PROBLEM: under these circumstances we must conclude that the contrary holdings of darlington v. owen county recc, ky., 299 s.w.2d 599; aetna life ins. co. v. bethel, 140 ky. 609, 131 s.w. 523; and madison coal corp. v. altmire, 215 ky. 283, 284 s.w. 1068, are out of harmony with the present view, and to the extent of their conflict with the rule here approved, are overruled.

SOLUTION:
overruling
