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.

Chipman, Limited v. Thomas B. Jeffrey Company No. 516 Submitted December 8, 1919 Decided January 19, 1920 251 U.S. 373
ERROR TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
By the law of New York, when a foreign corporation, as a condition to doing local business, appoints an agent upon whom process may be served and subsequently removes from the state, service on such agent, though his appointment stand unrevoked, will not confer jurisdiction in an action by a local corporation upon a contract between it and such foreign corporation but made and to be performed in another state when it is not shown that anything was done in New York in the way either of performance or breach of the contract, and it is not material that the foreign corporation was there doing business during a period when the contract was made and should have been performed. P. 378.
Such a case must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction upon removal to the district court from the Supreme Court of New York. Id.
260 F. 856 affirmed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
