General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Tidewater Oil Co. v. United States, 409 U.S. 151 (1972)
Tidewater Oil Co. v. United States No. 71-366 Argued October 11, 1972 Decided December 6, 1972 409 U.S. 151
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
The Expediting Act, providing that, in a civil antitrust action brought by the United States in a federal district court, an appeal from that court’s final judgment will lie only to this Court, lodged exclusive appellate jurisdiction over such actions in this Court, and thus bars the courts of appeals from asserting jurisdiction over interlocutory orders covered by 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), as well as over other interlocutory orders specified in § 1292(a). The legislative history of those provisions contains no indication of a congressional intent to impair the original exclusivity of this Court’s jurisdiction under the Expediting Act. Pp. 154-174.
