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.

Kalanianaole v. Smithies No. 109 Argued December 20, 1912 Decided January 6, 1913 226 U.S. 462
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE TERRITORY OF HAWAII
Syllabus
On a pure matter of form as to the parties in a suit coming here from a court of a territory, and where the whole interest in a judgment sued upon was before that court, this Court should not go behind the local practice.
A joint judgment ceases to be joint by the death of one of the parties. Where the joinder of an executor of a party whose interest has ceased is simply a mistake, it is not reversible error.
20 Haw. 138 affirmed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
