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.

Globe Liquor Co., Inc. v. San Roman No. 205 Argued December 17, 1947 Decided January 5, 1948 332 U.S. 571
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
In a suit on a contract in a Federal District Court, each party moved for a directed verdict. One party’s motion was granted and judgment was entered for him. The other party failed to move, as authorized by Rule 50(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to have the judgment set aside and judgment entered in accordance with his own motion for a directed verdict. The Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded with directions to enter judgment for the loser below.
Held:
1. The Circuit Court of Appeals erred in directing entry of such a judgment. Cone v. West Virginia Paper Co., 330 U.S. 212. Pp. 572-574.
2. Since the question whether the District Court should have directed a verdict for petitioner depended upon a number of factors, including an interpretation of the law of the state where the contract was made, a proper interpretation of the pleadings, a determination whether a disputed deposition was admitted in evidence in whole or in part, and the effect of that evidence if admitted, the case should be remanded to the District Court for a new trial. P. 574.
160 F.2d 800, affirmed in part and reversed in part.
