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.

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
Syllabus
A voluntary plan of reorganization submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission under § 11(e) of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, which would enable a registered holding company to comply with § 11(b) of the Act by converting itself into an investment company, was approved by the Commission. The Commission expressly provided in its order of approval that certain provisions of the plan would not be operative "until an appropriate United States District Court shall, upon application thereto, enter an order enforcing said provisions," but the Commission had not yet applied to the District Court for enforcement under § 11(e).
Held: on a petition for review under § 24(a) of the Act, the Court of Appeals was without jurisdiction over those provisions of the plan which the Commission had made operative on enforcement by the District Court, but had jurisdiction of the controversy so far as it related to other provisions of the plan. Pp. 522-536.
92 U.S.App.D.C. 172, 203 F.2d 611, affirmed in part and reversed in part.
