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.

Paducah v. East Tennessee Telephone Company No. 24 Argued April 22, 1913 Decided June 10, 1913 229 U.S. 476
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
Syllabus
The test of finality of a decree for the purposes of appeal to this Court is the face of the decree itself, and unless it is final, the appeal will not lie.
A decree which continues an injunction against a municipality unless it adopts an ordinance specified therein held not final prior to the passage of the ordinance or declaration not to do so, and appeal dismissed as premature.
The facts, which involve determining whether a decree of the circuit court of the United States is final and whether an appeal will lie therefrom to this Court, are stated in the opinion.
