Federal Trade Commission v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.

No. 756

Argued April 25, 1938
Decided May 16, 1938
304 U.S. 257

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT

Syllabus

1. The amendment, June 16, 1936, of § 2 of the Clayton Act, with respect to permissibility of price discriminations based on quantities sold, was not intended to affect orders of the Federal Trade Commission issued before the effective date of the amendment. P. 258.

2. Abandonment of a price arrangement found illegal and ordered discontinued by the Federal Trade Commission does not deprive respondent of the right to have the legality of the practice and the validity of the order determined on review by the Circuit Court of Appeals. The controversy does not become moot. P. 260.

92 F.2d 677, 679, reversed.

Certiorari, 303 U.S. 631, to review a judgment setting aside an order of the Federal Trade Commission.
