Okay, here's my contribution.

Case 1

1C opening ; 1H answer showing 4+ spades.

But LHO has overcalled 1H.

Now a double (in my system at least) shows the equivalent of a 1H
response (1S would deny spades), minus some specific types of hands
(mainly those worth a WJR, which we don't play noncompetitively).

Since everything that is said by the 1H response is also said by the
double, this substitution should be allowed IMOBO.

No: the only possibility to show the 4+ spades seems to be an insufficient
bid.
So Law 72B1 is applicable.
