"Vested rights" doctrine was first announced in ''McCullough v. Virginia'', 172 U.S. 102, 123-24 (1898): "It is not within the power of the legislature to take away rights which have been once vested by judgment. Legislation may act on subsequent proceedings, may abate actions pending, but when those actions have passed into judgment the power of the legislature to disturb the rights created thereby ceases."
