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.

Enriquez v. Enriquez No. 24 Argued October 31, 1911 Decided December 4, 1911 222 U.S. 123
APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Syllabus
Under § 10 of the Act of July 1, 1902, c. 1369, 32 Stat. 695, this Court can only review judgments of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands where the value in controversy exceeds $25,000, and where only a half interest of property is affected, jurisdiction does not exist unless the value of such half interest exceeds that amount.
An affidavit that the value of the real property involved in the action exceeds $25,000 is not sufficient to confer jurisdiction where only a one-half interest is affected and the context of the affidavit gives rise to the inference that the statements as to value relate to the entire property, and not to a half interest therein.
In this case, resort to the record shows that the value of the interest in the property affected is less than the jurisdictional amount.
The facts, which involve the jurisdiction of this Court of appeals from the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands, are stated in the opinion.
