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.
United States v. Yellow Cab Co., 338 U.S. 338 (1949)
United States v. Yellow Cab Co. No. 22 Argued November 14-15, 1949 Decided December 5, 1949 338 U.S. 338
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
Syllabus
In a suit to restrain violations of §§ 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act through a conspiracy to restrain and monopolize the sale of taxicabs by control of the principal companies operating them in certain states, the trial court carefully weighed the evidence, found it insufficient to support the allegations of the complaint, and entered judgment for defendants.
Held: judgment affirmed. Pp. 339-342.
(a) For triers of fact totally to reject an opposed view impeaches neither their impartiality nor the propriety of their conclusions. Labor Board v. Pittsburgh Steamship Co., 337 U.S. 656. P. 341.
(b) Rule 52, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, applies to appeals by the Government as well as to those by other litigants. Pp. 341-342.
(c) Where the evidence would support a conclusion either way, and the trial court has decided it to weigh more heavily for the defendants, such a choice between two permissible views of the weight of the evidence is not "clearly erroneous" within the meaning of Rule 52. P. 342.
80 F.Supp. 936, affirmed.
