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.
Frozen Food Express v. United States, 351 U.S. 40 (1956)
Frozen Food Express v. United States No. 158 Argued March 7, 1956 Decided April 23, 1956 * 351 U.S. 40
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
Syllabus
After an investigation and hearing instituted on its own motion, the Interstate Commerce Commission issued an order listing a large number of specified commodities which it found not to be "agricultural" within the meaning of § 203(b)(6) of the Interstate Commerce Act, which exempts from the requirement of a permit or a certificate of public convenience and necessity motor vehicles used only in carrying "agricultural" commodities. A motor carrier transporting without a certificate or permit numerous commodities found by the Commission not to be "agricultural" commodities, and which had not been a party to the administrative proceeding, sued in a Federal District Court to enjoin and set aside the Commission’s order.
Held: the Commission’s order is subject to judicial review, and the District Court should adjudicate the merits. United States v. Los Angeles R. Co., 273 U.S. 299, distinguished. Pp. 41-45.
128 F. Supp. 374 reversed.
