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.
McAllister Lighterage Line, Inc. v. United States, 327 U.S. 655 (1946)
McAllister Lighterage Line, Inc. v. United States No. 616 Argued March 5, 1946 Decided March 25, 1946 327 U.S. 655
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
The conclusion of the Interstate Commerce Commission, upon an application for a certificate as a common carrier by water under the "grandfather" clause of § 309(a) of Part III of the Interstate Commerce Act, that the interruption of bona fide operations since January 1, 1940, was not an interruption over which the applicant had no control -- the applicant’s restriction of its activities to exempt operations in New York harbor in wartime not being shown to have been other than voluntary -- was supported by the findings and the evidence, and justified the Commission’s denial of the application. P. 659.
Affirmed.
Direct appeal from a decree of a District Court of three judges dismissing a suit to set aside an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission which denied appellant’s application for a certificate as a common carrier by water under the "grandfather" clause of § 309(a) of Part III of the Interstate Commerce Act. Affirmed, p. 661.
