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.

Zimmermann v. Sutherland No. 180 Argued March 1, 1927 Decided May 16, 1927 274 U.S. 253
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT
Syllabus
In a suit under the Trading with the Enemy Act to satisfy a claim of the plaintiffs as depositors against an Austrian bank (whose property in this country was seized under the Act), the debt being due and payable in Austria and governed by the Austrian law, a payment into court there, which by that law operated as a discharge, is a complete defense. P. 255.
7 F.2d 443 affirmed.
Appeal from a decree of the circuit court of appeals in a suit brought under the Trading with the Enemy Act by depositor-creditors of an Austrian bank, property of which in this country had been seized by the Alien Property Custodian during the war. The district court awarded a recovery at the rate of exchange on August 12, 1919. The court below reversed this, holding that a deposit of kronen in Austria, April 1, 1920, had operated as a discharge.
