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.
Thurston Motor Lines, Inc. v. Jordan K. Rand, Ltd., 460 U.S. 533 (1983)
Thurston Motor Lines, Inc. v. Jordan K. Rand, Ltd. No. 82-713 Decided March 28, 1983 460 U.S. 533
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES
COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Held: Federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1337 exists over petitioner common carrier’s action in Federal District Court, where petitioner alleged that respondent failed to pay a specified amount in motor freight charges, as required by petitioner’s tariffs on file with the Interstate Commerce Commission, and that the action arose under the Interstate Commerce Act. Louisville & Nashville R. Co. v. Rice, 247 U.S. 201, is controlling. Petitioner’s suit cannot be characterized as a "simple contract-collection action." A carrier’s claim is, of necessity, predicated on its tariffs regulated by the Interstate Commerce Act -- not an understanding with the shipper.
Certiorari granted; 682 F.2d 811, reversed and remanded.
