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.
Violet Trapping Co., Inc. v. Grace, 297 U.S. 119 (1936)
Violet Trapping Co., Inc. v. Grace No. 302 Argued January 10, 13, 1936 Decided February 3, 1936 297 U.S. 119
APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
Syllabus
Lands which a State had acquired by adjudication for nonpayment of taxes were leased by it for a term limited to end if the lands were redeemed by the former owner or sold by the State. Held, that a later statute, permitting redemption on terms less onerous than those in force when the lease was made, did not impair the lessee’s rights under the contract clause of the Constitution or the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. P. 120.
182 La. 405, 162 So. 26, affirmed.
Appeal from a judgment affirming the dismissal of a suit in which a mandamus was sought to cancel certificates of redemption of land from tax sales, and an injunction against assertions of title thereunder.
