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.
Green v. Chicago, B. & Q. Ry. Co., 205 U.S. 530 (1907)
Green v. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway Company No. 435 Submitted April 8, 1907 Decided April 29, 1907 205 U.S. 530
ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
Syllabus
While, in case of diverse citizenship, the suit may be brought in the circuit court for the district of the residence of either party, there must be service within the district, and if the defendant is a nonresident corporation, service can only be made upon it if it is doing business in that district in such a manner, and to such an extent as to warrant the inference that it is present there through its agent.
A railroad company which has no tracks within the district is not doing business therein in the sense that liability for service is incurred because it hires an office and employs an agent for the merely incidental business of solicitation of freight and passenger traffic.
147 F. 767 affirmed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
