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 CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. Section 70(b) of the Bankruptcy Act as amended, which § 102 makes applicable to proceedings under Chapter X, authorizes enforcement of an express covenant providing for termination of the lease upon approval of a petition under Chapter X for reorganization of the lessee. P. 302.
2. A provision of a lease authorizing forfeiture "if the tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent by any Court" held operative upon approval of a petition for reorganization of the tenant under Chapter X of the Bankruptcy Act. P. 303.
3. Since the covenant here provides for forfeiture upon an adjudication of insolvency "by any Court," it is not to be construed as limited to an adjudication of insolvency by New York courts under the Debtor and Creditor Law. P. 304.
146 F.2d 594 affirmed.
Certiorari, 324 U.S. 834, to review the affirmance of an order in a proceeding under Chapter X of the Bankruptcy Act adjudging the termination of a lease held by the debtor.
