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.

Montelibano y Ramos v. La Compania General de Tabacos de Filipinas No. 217 Submitted March 8, 1916 Decided June 5, 1916 241 U.S. 455
APPEAL FROM AND ERROR TO THE
SUPREME COURT OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Syllabus
In an action of an equitable nature the proper method of review by this Court of the judgment of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands under the act of July 1, 1902, § 10, is by appeal and not by writ of error.
Where both courts below concurred in findings of fact and conclusions of law, it is the duty of this Court to affirm their judgment unless it appears that they clearly erred, and so held in a case involving the construction of, and transactions under, an agreement special in form whose true construction was in controversy.
The facts, which involve the jurisdiction of this Court to review judgments of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands and the validity of a judgment of that court in an action on contract between private parties, are stated in the opinion.
